The complainant, a Filipino veterinarian, alleged that he was denied a promotion to a management position at the Humane Society because of his race and small physical stature.
The Board of Inquiry found that while the manager regularly used racial slurs and tolerated a prejudiced work environment, the decision not to promote the complainant was based on his lack of 'on the road' law enforcement experience compared to the successful candidate.
The complaint was dismissed, but the Board recommended workplace education on the Human Rights Code.
