Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the complaint alleging that the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Inspector General (IG), Susan Gaffney, had discriminated against the Deputy Assistant Inspector General for Investigations because of his race, focusing on whether: (1) HUD had awarded contracts concerning the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint to outside firms in accordance with applicable government standards; and (2) HUD's actions were justified when it deviated from its standard EEO process by contracting with firms not on the General Services Administration's (GSA) schedule of contractors.
