Question:
As you have learned from your reading this week, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination of the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
One aspect of Title VII that was not covered is the threshold for compliance. Businesses that employ less than 15 employees do not have to comply with Title VII.
Please discuss whether it is inherently unethical for a small business (with less than 15 employees) to have no employees that belong to a protected class. Would this mean that the business is acting unethically? What factors would influence your analysis here? Please explain.
