A university I went to left a hiring document out marked "confidential". It specifically stated that preferences in hiring go to women and minorities when at all possible. It was not stated as "tie breaker" but stated that they would look at men once women and minorities had been exhausted. For a discrimination lawsuit it would have been a smoking gun. This was in the 90's. I imagine things are similar today, but nobody would have it written down.
