1. Who has to prove a company discriminated against an employee? Do you agree with the burden of this obligation?
2. Do you believe that Dr. Alvarado-Santos could not possibly have experienced discrimination on the basis of national origin as long as the individual who assumed her responsibilities was of the same national origin as she was? In other words, since she had Dr. Devarie were both Puerto Rican, was it not possible that Dr. Rodriguez-Pichardo was discriminating against her on the basis of national origin?
3. As an employer, what is the best way for you to protect the company from charges accusing one of your supervisors of discrimination such as the one involved in this case?
