2. Is there evidence of disparate impact against African Americans in the decisions that were made? On what basis did you arrive at this position? Illustrate how the “80 percent rule” can be used with the data in Exhibit 3.2.1 and whether there was a violation of this rule. When applying the 80 percent rule, there is evidence of disparate impact against African Americans. The test results showed that Whites had a 58% selection rate, which is greater than the 49% selection rate of African Americans. 3. If disparate impact is evident, what steps should the defendant take next? Provide specific recommendations. First, it is important for Frank to relate the assistant manager job description to the reasoning behind the WPT. The applicants are tested on basic verbal and math skills, which are demonstrated by receiving a high school diploma or GED (minimum job requirement). If the applicants are not able to meet this requirement then they do not qualify for the position. Applicants are required to have the ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing. If the applicants are not able to meet this requirement then they do not qualify for the position. Also, some of the tasks the applicant will be doing in #3 of Duties and …show more content…
An associate of the personnel department proposes that Frank should continue to use the Wonderlic but that the test scores should be interpreted by the racial/ethnic classification of the test taker. For example, raw scores on the Wonderlic would be converted to percentages within ethnic classification. With such a procedure, African Americans taking the test who receive the exact raw score as whites would receive a higher percentage score on the exam because of the “within-ethnic” interpretation. He argues that the procedure would enable Frank to continue using a valid and useful test while avoiding adverse impact. (Mr. Goebel would have advanced to the interview with this approach.)

Affirmative Action perpetuates racism (MC). According to an article in The Harvard Crimson by Price III (1989), the enactment of civil right, affirmative action, and welfare legislations made blacks to face many racist-related problems such as ‘unemployment, a low percentage on public assistance, unwed mothers and dropout rates’ (1MSC). Therefore, it is easy to learn that affirmative action is not a good substitute for equality of opportunity (2MSC). Affirmative action creates a false impression that people are equal while in reality, breeding reverse discrimination and resentment amongst the citizens (Halverson, 2007) (MSC3). Therefore, it will be in order to revoke and have a better method
This memo is intend to present appropriate treatment of the ARO estimation problem experienced by the Lack of Information (LOI) based on the findings from interviews with all 50 of the warehouse managers and on-site visits at each of the 50 locations of its warehouses countrywide. The onsite observations search for any evidence of damages in both the on-site property like the roof, walls, floors and general conditions. The interview with the managers obtains information about the characteristics of the warehouses that are not readily observable. The information obtained is very important in the preparation of the fiscal
Based on our learning from week one of our class, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the leadership perspectives manifested in both Bobby Knight and Mike Krzyzewski, coaches who have made significant marks in their field in college basketball. I hope to be able to identify the power bases both coaches rely upon, as well as whether their actions are more aligned with either a managerial role or leadership role. In addition, I hope to identify how significant the leadership traits have influenced their leadership, based on the five-factor

Any role that HR adopts to outsource services inserts firms seeking the business into the equation (Stone, 2013). Also, the industry; rival companies are stakeholders in HR policies since they can alter the competitive marketplace. A generous payback package that attracts better workers is both a hazard to other companies and a good opportunity for them to beat my company on price if that decision forces me to increase prices.
2. I don’t think the Justice system is stacked against minorities. I believe when a person is rich, a better attorney he affords will help him prove his innocent easliy. But even if a person is a minority, that does not mean he is poor. ‘Guilty until proven innocent’ doesn’t happen
Additionally, contemporary cases of race segregation including affirmations that are not "immediate" and subject to differing understandings in light of history, tone, an intonation of voice, and land conditions, for instance, must be analyzed in the setting. Members of the jury ought to be given the chance to contextualize certainties, and judges ought not to dispose of this jury work
8.Select one (1) case in which a court charged an organization with an affirmative action violation and one (1) case in which a court charged the organization with not managing harassment issues more expeditiously. Recommend an action plan geared toward preventing the issues addressed in both cases within your selected organization. Justify your recommendation.

Hispanics: 22/102 = 0.21568 = 21.6 %; 4/5 Rule = 21.6 / 30.9 = 0.69902 = 69.9 %. This calculation also shows that there is adverse impact.
1. Consider Exhibit 10 on page 22 of the case; does it include the factors you consider most important in the selection process? Which factors would you be inclined to weight most heavily?
Upon reading Case 7.3, Jim Madison, Social Security Administration district office manager, engage with all 30 staff in an in-group/out-group manner. Northouse (2015), stated LMX theory works in two capacities: describing and prescribing leadership. The main concept dyadic relationship, is that leaders form relationships with each of their followers (Northouse, 2015). The theory suggest that it is important for the leader to recognize the existence of in- and out-groups within an organization (Northouse, 2015).
