Daily News | Pine Valley Golf Club agrees to settlement in gender-based discrimination lawsuit
A prestigious Camden County golf club has agreed to a settlement in a gender-based discrimination complaint filed last year by the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights., Pine Valley Golf Club will end discriminatory hiring, housing, and membership practices, as well as educate its workforce about the requirements of the state’s anti-discrimination laws, the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said.
Under the settlement, the club has agreed to discontinue those practices. It will also publicly post future job openings “such that they are equally accessible to people of all genders,” and must advertise a minimum of 75% of those openings in at least two major online job posting websites, officials said. Word-of-mouth recruitment, as the complaint alleged was used, can no longer be relied upon as the club’s main method for hiring.
New Jersey law prohibits discrimination in housing, employment, and “places of public accommodation” based on gender, sex, gender identity, gender expression, and other characteristics. The club, the complaint contended, is a place of public accommodation because it owned much of the land in the Borough of Pine Valley,. As a result of how closely intertwined the club was with the borough, it was not “distinctly private,” the complaint said.
