|
Personnel Administrator of Massachusetts v. Feeney, 442 U.S. 256 (1979), was a case heard by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court's decision upheld the constitutionality of a state law giving hiring preference to veterans over non-veterans.[1] The law was challenged as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution by a woman, who argued that the law discriminated on the basis of sex because so few women held veteran status.[1]
