An excerpt from "DOJ Settles with California Medical Center Regarding Claims of Discrimination
Against Foreign Nationals"
The OSC recently reached a settlement with the University of California (“UC”), San Diego
Medical Center (“SDMC”), regarding allegations that the SDMC required excess
documentation from foreign nationals (“FNs”) who sought employment. Under the terms of
the settlement, the SDMC agreed to a consent judgment that required it to: (i) pay a civil
penalty of $115,000 to the United States; (ii) provide relevant training to all human resource
personnel at its 10 UC campuses, five medical centers, and research laboratory; and (iii)
avoid future discrimination and retaliation.
