Document Summary

Can"t make any employment decision on race, religion, sex or national origin. Griggs applied for a job at duke power. Duke power required all applicants to have a high school education. Having a hs diploma had nothing to do with the railwork! No relation between ksas and actual job requirements. Discrimination since racial disproportionality of hs graduation. Uc davis med school wanted more diversity so said they set aside slots for minorities. Cannot reject a person on basis of disability. Employers must be blind to a person"s: age, ancestry, disability, marital status, race, sex, religion and sexual orientation/identity. Sexual orientation/identity is an explicit factor in ca. Employers must be blind to characteristics in employment decisions. Break the tie by picking the under-represented candidate. Puts you and your employer at risk. You may lose your job and pay damages if convicted. In the mind of the victim, not in the intentions of the perpetrator.
