a. What is "disparate-impact" discrimination under Title VII and how does it differ from "disparate-treatment" discrimination?
b. Do you believe that an employer that refuses to hire felons - regardless of the nature of the felony, the nature of the job, or the length of time that has passed since the conviction - should be subject to liability for disparate-impact discrimination? What defenses might an employer use to defend itself against a lawsuit challenging the legality of its policy against hiring felons?
