Computer Instructors Corporation was discriminated
against by the US Air Force training
directory at the Pentagon, based on the owner's White skin color.
CICorp's five
instructors (including a black lady PhD student) were doing an excellent job
during 1990,
training USAF civilian and military staff in Microsoft software, and expected
the contract
would be renewed for 1991. But USAF said the contract had to go to a
"minority" woman
owned business, to fulfill SBA 8a Affirmative Action quotas. She did
not have enough
instructors, so 3 of CICorp's contractors worked for her. The Pentagon
training director
asked CICorp to give her copies of the course manuals they developed, since the
students
liked the booklets, and the "preferred" woman did not have any. Reverse
discrimination.
