AFBO and Geneva College v. Chao - This case was brought in the Federal District Court in Pittsburgh against the Pennsylvania and US Departments of Labor for refusing to allow Geneva College to publish a job placement listing in a federally funded "Careerlink" website because Geneva was deemed to be engaged in "discriminatory" hiring on the basis of religion. The case was settled when the defendants agreed to be bound by an interpretation of the Careerlink funding regulations that permits Geneva as a religious employer to hire and list job openings on the basis of religious qualifications. You can read more about the case in the attached Complaint filed by AFBO in December 2006 and the resulting Stipulation for Dismissal.
