...promotion policies, most notably in a 1991 lawsuit in which a California jury awarded $17.6 million to a female Texaco employee who sued after the company denied her promotion and gave her job to a man, a reprimand last year by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs for unfair employment practices at its Houston facility and an investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in June that found reasonable cause to believe that Texaco discriminates against some blacks in the organization.

If in fixing this problem, we enter a brief period of inconsistency (say, the first semester with students on the Board) then it is worth it. This is a moot point anyway since our greatest desire is to make the Ad Board fair...
Indeed, many student groups criticize what they say is an unclear, unfair and confusing grants process...
