Does a racially balanced workforce immunize the defendant from liability for specific acts of discrimination? It would make no sense to establish a general rule whereby an employer could more easily establish business U.S. 977, 990] 798 F.2d, at 797. Cf. In sum, under Griggs and its progeny, an employer, no matter how well intended, will be liable under Title VII if it relies upon an employment-selection process that disadvantages a protected class, unless that process is shown to be necessary to fulfill legitimate business requirements. 87-1387; Griffin v. Carlin, 755 F.2d 1516, 1522-1525 (CA11 1985). Disparate impact is the idea that a policy can have a discriminatory effect even if it wasn't created with an intent to discriminate. The district court found that opinions of Plaintiffs' expert were more persuasive that MWS's expert. U.S., at 802 What is the employer's defense in disparate impact cases? This Court has repeatedly reaffirmed the principle that some facially neutral employment practices may violate Title VII even in the absence of a demonstrated discriminatory intent. While the formal validation techniques endorsed by the EEOC in its Uniform Guidelines may sometimes not be effective in measuring the job-relatedness of subjective-selection Petitioner Clara Watson, who is black, was hired by respondent Fort Worth Bank and Trust (the Bank) as a proof operator in August 1973. The court decided that the disparate impact was justifiable, because strength and size constituted bona fide occupational requirements for a job that involved maintaining order in prisons.

Davis, U.S. 977, 1001] The legal theory of disparate impact, created by the Supreme Court in the 1971 case of Griggs v. Duke Power, allows for claims of racial discrimination when a policy or procedure leads to racially disproportionate results even if that policy or procedure was established without discriminatory intent. and who passed the company's general aptitude test, its selection system could nonetheless have been considered "subjective" if it also included brief interviews with the candidates. As to petitioner's individual claim, the court held that she had not met her burden of proof under the discriminatory treatment evidentiary standard and, for this and other reasons, dismissed the action. denied, If the employer satisfies "this burden of production," then "the factual inquiry proceeds to a new level of specificity," id., at 255, and it is up to the plaintiff to prove that the proffered reason was a pretext for discrimination. of Community Affairs v.

But again the plurality misses a key distinction: An employer accused of discriminating intentionally need only dispute that it had any such intent - which it can do by offering any legitimate, nondiscriminatory justification.

The term itself, however, goes a long way toward establishing the limits of the defense: To be justified as a business necessity an employment criterion must bear more than an indirect or minimal relationship to job performance. [ 457 U.S. 440 Following passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964whose Title VII prohibited (among other things) discrimination on the basis of race by employers involved in interstate commercethe company officially abandoned this restriction and instituted the high-school-diploma and intelligence-test requirements for transfers. Nevertheless, it bears noting that this statement of Governors v. Aikens, supra, at 713, n. 1; McDonnell Douglas, 422 U.S., at 432 The majority concluded that there was no abuse of discretion in the District Court's class decertification decisions. a variety of methods are available for establishing the link between these selection processes and job performance, just as they are for objective-selection devices. In another case, Cureton v. National Collegiate Athletic Association (1999), the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that a bylaw of the NCAA that required prospective student athletes to achieve a score of at least 820 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) in order to receive athletic scholarships and financial aid could not be challenged on disparate-impact grounds (as a violation of Title VI), because the single program for which the NCAA received federal funding was unrelated to athletic scholarships and financial aid.

Some qualities - for example, common sense, good judgment, originality, ambition, loyalty, and tact - cannot be measured accurately through standardized testing techniques. 457 Indeed, to the extent an employer's "normal" practices serve to perpetuate a racially disparate status quo, they clearly violate Title VII unless they can be shown to be necessary, in addition to being "normal." For the second time in two years, the Supreme Court is poised to review a case that challenges whether the concept of "disparate impact" can be used to enforce the 1968 Fair Housing Act. v. United States, . . [487 App. 3 3 The Court held that disparate-impact claims are cognizable under FHA 3604(a) and 3605(a) (referred to in the Court's opinion as 804(a) and 805(a), which were the original section numbers in the 1968 FHA). U.S., at 425 HUD's disparate impact regulation was finalized in 2013, at which time the vast majority of federal courts of appeals had agreed that the FHA prohibits any practice that produces a discriminatory effect, regardless of discriminatory intent, but had taken various different approaches to determining liability under an "effects" standard. . 438 (1978) (hiring decisions based on personal knowledge of candidates and recommendations); Texas Dept. %PDF-1.4 % [ Courts have also referred to the "standard deviation" analysis sometimes used in jury-selection cases.

Cf. 450 450 In a much-anticipated decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project. The Griggs Court found that these policies, which involved the use of general aptitude tests and a high school diploma [487 I write separately to reiterate what I thought our prior cases had made plain about the nature of claims brought within the disparate-impact framework. Connecticut v. Teal, U.S. 248, 252 Griggs v. Duke Power Co., It is a legal theory derived from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. U.S., at 578 Because of these difficulties, we are told, employers will find it impossible to eliminate subjective selection criteria and impossibly expensive to defend such practices in litigation. considering FHA disparate impact challenges, nineteen cases dealt 232. 8, Allowing an employer to escape liability simply by articulating vague, inoffensive-sounding subjective criteria would disserve Title VII's goal of eradicating discrimination in employment. For example, in this case the Bank supervisors were given complete, unguided discretion in evaluating applicants for the promotions in question. 460 Similarly, in Washington v. Davis, the Court held that the "job relatedness" requirement was satisfied when the employer demonstrated that a written test was related to success at a police training academy "wholly aside from [the test's] possible relationship to actual performance as a police officer." The Bank, which has about 80 employees, had not developed precise and formal criteria for evaluating candidates for the positions for which Watson unsuccessfully applied. 440 Thus, for example, if the employer in Griggs had consistently preferred applicants who had a high school diploma U.S., at 426 (1976) (Title VII litigation "involves a more probing judicial review, and less deference to the seemingly reasonable acts of [employers] than is appropriate under the Constitution where special racial impact, without discriminatory purpose, is claimed"). If the ruling is upheld, a lawyer for the National Federation of the Blind, which joined the case, said . But there is another case that PLF filed a brief in this week concerning the intersection of disparate impact and disparate treatment under the Fair Housing Act. The challenges are derived from three limitations on disparate impact liability highlighted in Inclusive Communities, all drawn from pre-existing disparate impact jurisprudence. DI claims may challenge practices that result in discrimination. Especially in relatively small businesses like respondent's, it may be customary and quite reasonable simply to delegate employment decisions to those employees who are most familiar with the jobs to be filled and with the candidates for those jobs. In the 1880 United States presidential election, a majority of eligible African-American voters cast a ballot in every Southern state except for . Some clarity was subsequently provided by the Supreme Courts decision in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc. (2015), which endorsed an interpretation of the Fair Housing Act that had permitted disparate-impact challenges to allegedly discriminatory housing policies or practices but also articulated new limits on the scope of such actions, including that housing authorities and private developers [must be given] leeway to state and explain the valid interest served by their policies and that a disparate-impact claim that relies on a statistical disparity must fail if the plaintiff cannot point to a defendants policy or policies causing that disparity..

Burdine, of Community Affairs v.

Rawlinson, As usual, the blog entry is divided into categories and they are: facts; what happened at the district court level; majority opinion/private right of action exists for disparate impact claims; majority opinion/disparate impact should not have been applied to all claims; dissenting opinion by Judge Lee; and thoughts/takeaways. We have not limited this principle to cases in which the challenged practice served to perpetuate the effects of pre-Act intentional discrimination. Furthermore, she argues, if disparate impact analysis is confined to objective tests, employers will be able to substitute subjective criteria having substantially identical effects, and Griggs will become a dead letter. See Teamsters v. United States, The court also concluded that Watson was not an adequate representative of the applicant class because her promotion claims were not typical of the claims of the members of that group. Footnote 8 Brief for the American Psychological Association as Amicus Curiae 2. U.S. 248, 252 440 App. Six months after Brown was promoted, his performance was evaluated as only "close to being `competent.'" It's tied to discriminatory practices that may hinder equal access. [487 This statement warrants further comment in two respects. In Griggs itself, for example, the employer had a history of overt racial discrimination that predated the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The two-and-a-half years following the Inclusive Communities ruling have highlighted several key challenges that fair housing plaintiffs must overcome under that case. 434 U.S. 299, 311 The United States Supreme Court recently held that the disparate impact theory of recovery, which generally refers to claims for "unintentional discrimination," applies to cases brought under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"). The two-and-a-half years following the Inclusive Communities ruling have highlighted several key challenges that fair housing plaintiffs must overcome under that case. It is completely unrealistic to assume that unlawful discrimination is the sole cause of people failing to gravitate to jobs and employers in accord with the laws of chance. Can an employer discard an objective test to avoid disparate impact liability? 452 Texas Dept. 29 CFR 1607.4(D) (1987). Congress has specifically provided that employers are not required to avoid "disparate impact" as such: We do not believe that disparate impact theory need have any chilling effect on legitimate business practices. Without attempting to catalog all the weaknesses that may be found in such evidence, we may note that typical examples include small or incomplete for the purpose of predicting ability to master a training program even if the test does not otherwise predict ability to perform on the job"). ("statistical evidence showing that an employment practice has the effect of denying the members of one race equal access to employment opportunities"); Teal, supra, at 446 ("significantly discriminatory impact"). 433 253, as amended, 42 U.S.C. ] It bears noting that the question on which we granted certiorari, and the question presented in petitioner's brief, is whether disparate-impact analysis applies to subjective practices, not where the burdens fall, if the analysis applies. The project was approved by the City of Los Angeles (the City) and includes an expansion of a shopping mall and new offices, apartments, hotels, and condominiums. Our cases make clear, however, that, contrary to the plurality's assertion, ante, at 997, a plaintiff who successfully establishes this prima facie case shifts the burden of proof, not production, to the defendant to establish that the employment practice in question is a business necessity. The requirements excluded approximately 40 percent of all women but only 1 percent of men. If Sandoval is applied in this context, private plaintiffs will no longer be able to sue to enforce those regulations. What can the plaintiff show, if the defendant meets his/her burden? Section 703 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. (citation omitted; internal quotation marks omitted). We express no opinion as to the other rulings of the Court of Appeals. [487 0000001022 00000 n 0000001572 00000 n of Community Affairs v. Burdine, <]>> Footnote 1 . Perhaps the most obvious examples of such functional equivalence have been found where facially neutral job requirements necessarily operated to perpetuate the effects of intentional discrimination that occurred before Title VII was enacted. Precisely what constitutes a business necessity cannot be reduced, of course, to a scientific formula, for it necessarily involves a case-specific judgment which must take into account the nature of the particular business and job in question. (1988), cert. (1985); Firefighters Institute v. St. Louis, 616 F.2d 350, 356-357 (CA8 1980), cert. 2000e-2(j), we think it imperative to explain in some detail why the evidentiary standards that apply in these cases should serve as adequate safeguards against the danger that Congress recognized. The same factors would also be relevant in determining whether the challenged practice has operated as the functional equivalent of a pretext for discriminatory treatment. xbbb`b``c Even so, plaintiffs have rarely prevailed, because the accommodation process examines each person individually, while the theory of disparate impact is designed to look at the effects on a group. 485 Why is a bona fide seniority system a facially neutral practice? The plurality, of course, is correct that the initial burden of proof is borne by the plaintiff, who must establish, by some form of numerical showing, that a facially neutral hiring practice "select[s] applicants .

Bottom line theory- invalid because the focus is on the discrimination against the individual, not only the ultimate result. 2000e-2(j).

When the U.S. Supreme Court first recognized the theory, it was hailed as a breakthrough for civil rights. (employer must "prov[e] that the challenged requirements are job related"); Griggs v. Duke Power Co., 401 Watson filed a discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Watson argued that the District Court had erred in failing to apply "disparate impact" analysis to her claims of discrimination in promotion. 460 ] Nor can the requirement that a plaintiff in a disparate-impact case specify the employment practice responsible for the statistical disparity be turned around to shield from liability an employer whose selection process is so poorly defined that no specific criterion can be identified with any certainty, let alone be connected to the disparate effect. In certain cases, facially neutral employment practices that have significant adverse effects on protected groups have been held to violate the Act without proof Although we have said that an employer has "the burden of showing that any given requirement must have a manifest relationship to the employment in question," Griggs, data sets and inadequate statistical techniques. Bd. What other rules do courts use instead of the 4/5 rule? Rather, disparate impact arises when a plaintiff proves that a neutral policy results in a disparate, negative impact on the protected group. See also Zahorik v. Cornell University, 729 F.2d 85, 96 (CA2 1984) ("[The] criteria [used by a university to award tenure], however difficult to apply and however much disagreement they generate in particular cases, are job related.

Rather, the necessary premise of the disparate impact approach is that some employment practices, adopted without a deliberately discriminatory motive, may in operation be functionally equivalent to intentional discrimination. This congressional mandate requires in our view that a decision to extend the reach of disparate impact theory be accompanied by safeguards against the result that Congress clearly said it did not intend. 111 0 obj <> endobj Answer the following questions about the diatonic modes. ("[P]ractices, procedures, or tests neutral on their face, and even neutral in terms of intent, cannot be maintained if they operate to `freeze' the [discriminatory] status quo"). Prior to 1965 African Americans could be hired only by the lowest-paying department of the company and were not allowed to transfer out. Standardized tests and criteria, like those at issue in our previous disparate impact cases, can often be justified through formal "validation studies," which seek to determine whether discrete selection criteria predict actual on-the-job performance. 422 I agree that disparate-impact analysis may be applied to claims of discrimination caused by subjective or discretionary selection processes, and I therefore join Parts I, II-A, II-B, and III of the Court's opinion.
