NASA recently settled a class action racial discrimination lawsuit filed by dozens of African-American employees. According to the complaint, which was filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency's Manpower Utilization Review Council intentionally denied the plaintiffs promotions because of their race. As part of the settlement, 120 African-American engineers will share $3.75 million. NASA also plans to promote 22 black employees and to spend $500,000 revamping its promotion system.
