Heading: Director of Counseling Services Position

Text: Humphries failed to file a complaint of unlawful discrimination with the EEOC with respect to the District's failure to promote her to the director of counseling services position. Although an EEOC complaint need not specifically articulate the precise claim, it must nevertheless be sufficient to give the employer notice of the subject matter of the charge and identify generally the basis for a claim. Fair v. Norris, 480 F.3d 865, 867 n. 2 (8th Cir.2007) (internal quotation omitted). Thus, we agree with the district court that summary judgment is appropriate because Humphries failed to exhaust her administrative remedies on her claim that the District's failure to promote her to the director of counseling services position was racially discriminatory. See Nat'l R.R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 114, 122 S.Ct. 2061, 153 L.Ed.2d 106 (2002) (explaining that discrete acts such as failure to hire are easy to identify, and noting that [e]ach incident of [alleged] discrimination ... constitutes a separate actionable `unlawful employment practice').
