8th Circuit Says Plaintiffs' Regression Admissible but Insufficient in Title VII Case

The Eighth Circuit has ruled that the regression evidence offered by plaintiffs' experts in the race discrimination class action against UPS was admissible but insufficient to defeat summary judgment on the merits. See Morgan v. United Parcel Service of America, Inc., No. 02-2545 (8th Cir. Aug. 30, 2004) (M. Arnold, Beam, & Melloy, JJ.).
