A federal judge approved the settlement.  Both sides announced that Abercrombie & Fitch would pay $40 million to several thousand minority and female plaintiffs. Abercrombie also said that they would hire 25 diversity recruiters and a vice president for diversity.  Also to promote the hiring of minorities and women to reflect its applicant pool.  It has to have about 30% of employees that are of a minority race.
