In the Supreme Court case, Griggs v. Duke Power Company (Duke), it was decided that Duke used a selection process which had a disparate impact on the employment opportunities of members of a race, color, religion, sex, or national origin group. Disparate impact is sometimes confusing and tricky. In the case of the Albemarle Paper Company (Albemarle) v. Moody, proved just how tricky disparate impact is. Albemarle administered tests without validating them before they were administered because it was too expensive. However, Albemarle did attempt to prove their case through a private company before their court date. Subsequently, Albemarle were not able to…
The disparate impact theory requires a plaintiff to demonstrate that an apparently neutral employment practice affects one group more harshly than another and that the practice is not justified by business necessity. A prima face case is established when the plaintiff identifies a specific employment practice to be challenged; and through relevant statistical analysis proves that the challenged practice has an adverse impact on a protected group. When it comes to the case, discrimination was seen, but never affects more than one…
The plaintiff disparate (adverse) impact claim failed because this type of philosophy involves the plaintiff proving that the employment practice was more severely on one set of individuals than another, and the practice is not justified by business necessity. A prima face case is recognized when: (1) the plaintiff perceives a certain employment practice to be tested; and (2) through appropriate statistical investigation and revealing that the test practice has an adverse impact on a certain group. Mr. Dunlap did not present clues that the practices used in his conversation was used for other employment results, and no statistical evidence proof can display that a secure set of people was adversely impacted. There was no confirmation at trial in regards to TVA hiring practices and the only scenarios recognized was the Cumberland committee interrogations and scoring of the applications during the Dunlap’s interviewing process. Furthermore,…

Adverse impact creates numerous barriers for people with disabilities. While a minorities, women, or elderly persons do not typically have to concern themselves with job requirements necessitating the use of a short flight of stairs, the operation of small keypads, or easy mental arithmetic, these things could all pose special problems for people with various disabilities.

Disparate treatment requires the plaintiff to show that he/she was treated differently because of sex, race, color, religion, or national origin. Disparate impact applies if the employer has a rule that, is not directly discriminatory, but in practice excludes too many people in a protected group (Beatty et al. 2008). There is a statute of limitations when taking legal action and filing a case of employment discrimination, which begins on the date the alleged discrimination took place. Consulting with a lawyer or contacting the EEOC are vital steps in assuring ones job and rights are…
Institutional discrimination is policies and practices that are favorable to a dominant group while unfavorable to another group that are systematically placed and acceptable in the form of norms in the existing structure of society. The differences between defacto and dejure discrimination is dejure discrimination is any discrimination or unequal treatment of two groups that is based on statutory law and sanctioned by the government in place at the time. A great example of de jure discrimination would be the Jim Crow laws of the segregated south after the Civil War which lasted up to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These laws put in place two separate but unequal societies in the south, which allowed the white power structure…
