Summary:	In 2008, leaders at Columbine Health Systems (CHS) began to require its personal care providers to pass a written test, which they had not validated, to ensure job-readiness. Employees took the test, which adversely impacted four of the nine African employees who failed to answer 75% of the questions correctly. This led to the termination of these employees.
