equal employment opportunities for minorities and women.
In 1998, Professor Blumrosen became director of the Intentional Employment Discrimination Project,

in Metropolitan America -- 1999", a landmark study of intentional job discrimination in the U.S. and
each state and metropolitan area. The study, which is also available at

combined with legal standards to identify intentional job discrimination. He is currently writing a book with the
working title "White House Wars".
