This may be the Houston reaction. They post it to avoid a lawsuit, nothing more. They will still go through a search to find who they want.

IMHO the job posting laws for these executive positions are archaic legal vestiges that should be dropped. They reflect a bygone era, not the way business is done these days. In short they are a waste of time, and since time (on the job for some person in the department) is money, it's a waste of tax payer money.

They can't defend it and it has a discriminatory impact. They lose in court every time. The "connections" are the way these jobs are filled, but they have to go through the motions because the people with "connections" are heavily white male.

So they pick the person, write the description to match the person, post it and then go through the motions and pick the person they originally wanted. It doesn't matter that there is no discriminatory intent.
