Disparate impact theory has been embedded in the legal and regulatory landscape for over 50 years. This legal doctrine has been upheld by court rulings at all levels and has broadened in application over the years. However, disparate impact theory as a guiding civil rights principle is being threatened by recent Supreme Court rulings, executive orders, employer confusion about “illegal DEI”, and other forms of pressure.
Affirmity’s Patrick McNiel, PhD, and Charles McGhee, PhD, are joined by David Morris, PhD, President and CEO, Morris & McDaniel, for ‘What’s Happening With Disparate Impact Theory?’
Through this session, you will learn:
- The history of disparate impact theory and the legal framework built around it
- Recent challenges and changes in the legal and regulatory landscape, and their implications for disparate impact theory law
- The effect that recent shifts are having on employers, and the consequences for disparate impact use in your programs
