City of Columbus hosted community meeting to discuss disparity study
The City of Columbus recently held two community meetings regarding a Disparity Study being conducted for the City of Columbus by Mason Tillman Associates, Ltd.
The study is being conducted to determine if statistically significant disparities exists in city contracts. The study will also ascertain practices affecting any documented disparity; assess effectiveness of race and gender-neutral programs and prepare a study that is legally defensible. The study will take a year to complete.
