“. Use of mathematical ratios on a limited basis to correct past discrimination is not a violation of equal protection (citing cases). In the present case, the district court ordered one-to-one ratio hiring for a limited period as part of a broad equitable remedy designed to eradicate defendants’ discriminatory employment practices.
