Jordan died in 2014 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. To this day he is one of only two African Americans to serve on the Portland City Council. When Sachs approached the fami- ly of Jordan, he wanted to make sure Jordan’s legacy was being honored. He said it was very important to the fam- ily that the new policy be named the Charles Jordan Standard as opposed to the Charles Jordan Rule. “If it was going to carry his name it had to be something that encouraged them to do the right thing, because it is the right thing on their own, not be- cause they were forced to,” he said. In 2009, Sachs pushed for the “Rooney Rule” to be applied to all Oregon state-funded colleges. The rule stated that every head-coaching job in these schools needed to interview at least one minority candidate. Oregon then became the first state to pass the rule. Sachs said he hopes other cities across the county will make similar steps to- ward diversity in their leadership.
