1Opinion of the Court
MANION, Circuit Judge.
Minority Chicago police officers sued the City of Chicago, claiming that a 1994 examination for promotion to sergeant, and the ensuing February 1997 promotions based on that examination, had a disparate impact that discriminated based on race. The district court granted summary judgment to Chicago, determining that the police officers could not demonstrate the availability of an alternative method of promotion that was equally valid and less discriminatory than the examination used. We affirm.
