Case Summary

In October 1996, the Indianapolis Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Adam's Mark Hotel Indianapolis and HBE Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. The charging parties intervened in the lawsuit in November 1996 and January 1997. Following substantial discovery and motions by the defendant for summary judgment against all five charging parties, the parties settled the lawsuit in August 1998 through a consent decree. We do not have a copy of the consent decree; therefore, the exact details of the agreement are unknown.
