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.
