Employment Discrimination

Catalog description

This course focuses on the theory and practice of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, and color. Sexual harassment law receives considerable attention. Coverage of process and procedure includes examination of the growing use of alternative dispute resolution to resolve discrimination claims. Other statutes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act are studied, but because their basic structure is parallel to Title VII, they require less discussion. Graded.
