The FBI is set to pay over $22 million to settle a class action lawsuit in which multiple female recruits have alleged discriminatory and sexist treatment at the bureau's Quantico, Virginia training facility.
The lawsuit, which was filed by 34 women in 2019, states that female trainees in the FBI were subjected to "outdated gender stereotypes", "excessively targeted for correction", "constructively discharged," and even dismissed in tactical situations due to a "perceived lack of judgment".
