Reasonable Grounds Decisions & Reports

Reports and Recommendations

Note: Following is a listing of cases in which the Commissioners have found reasonable grounds to believe that unlawful discrimination has occurred. The listing contains a summary of the issues and the vote of the Commissioners. Cases will remain on this site for six months. The identities of the parties are not included in the reports on this site, although the reports maintained in the Commission's offices and files may include the names of the parties, where permitted by statute. The purpose of producing Investigators Reports is for information and education purposes about the issues the Commission considers.

For each case, the list links the reader to the Investigator's Report, which analyzes the case, and to the Minutes, which links the reader to the agenda at which the case was considered. The Minutes contain the names of those who appeared in each case and the vote of each Commissioner. Where there are notations referencing cases on the Consent Agenda, that means that there were no written disagreements made to the Investigator's recommendation. Commissioners accept the recommendations of cases on the Consent Agenda with no discussion. In making determinations Commissioners consider the Investigator's Report, any written submissions by the parties made within allowable time periods, and any oral presentation.
