What this entry tracks
This historical agency matter concerns employment assessments, not an AI lawsuit. The EEOC reported findings that Target’s former tests disproportionately excluded applicants by race and sex, and that a psychological assessment was an impermissible pre-offer medical examination.
Verified resolution
On August 24, 2015, the agency announced a $2.8 million conciliation agreement. Target discontinued the challenged assessments and agreed to validation, monitoring and recordkeeping measures.
The source describes an agency investigation resolved without protracted litigation, not a judicial liability ruling. This entry does not establish AI use or Target’s current assessment practices.
