A study conducted by a University of Michigan researcher found that even black graduates from elite universities still face racial discrimination in the preliminary stages of the employment process. The study found that black graduates from top colleges had to send out more resumes than their white counterparts and received responses for jobs listed at a lower salary. African-American job candidates with ‘racialized names’ received fewer requests for a job interview when compared to white job candidates with equal qualifications. The article below suggests that even education is not enough to prevent discrimination. Discriminatory hiring processes and discrimination in the workplace are prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
