My guess is that they are trying to head off future problems at the path. If the wrong person finds out about it and brought it up in the wrong way, it would be a HUGE PR nightmare. Imagine, a minority inmate finding out and making up some false accusations and then the ACLU and half a dozen TV stations are crawling all over the place. Then, they find out that the place knew about it. So suddenly, some one thinking "It doesn't seem to be affecting his work, what he does in his own time isn't my problem." has turned been turned into by the sensationalist News agencies "The whole place from the highest Administrative levels down is racist and has been covering it up!" Then every other minority that's been there in 20 years is on the news and sewing for millions.

I think it's more of a CYA thing on the part of the employer.
