The year is 2025 and the U.S. Supreme Court has declared all laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace to be unconstitutional.  In its opinion, however, the Supreme Court made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt policies and procedures prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination in the workplace. The Supreme Court also made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt hiring practices to diversify their workforces provided such practices did not include express preferences based upon immutable characteristics.

You have been hired as a consultant by a large, nationwide retailer to examine the business case for ensuring that all of the employee protections are found within the federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as the business case for prohibiting any other forms of discrimination in the workplace.

Write a four to six (4-6) page report in which you:

1. Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws.
2. Discuss the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting a form of discrimination not covered by any of the federal anti-discrimination laws.
3. State the benefits and costs of voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workforce.
4. Evaluate the ethical considerations of not voluntarily prohibiting the forms of discrimination laws examined in the first part of your report. Next, determine the ethical considerations of not voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices to diversify the workforce.
5. Provide a final recommendation to this retailer on whether or not they should ensure all, part, or none of the employee protections examined in the first part of your report. Your recommendation should also include whether or not the retailer should adopt hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workplace. Be sure to include a rationale for your recommendation along with an explanation for any rejections of contrary positions or other pertinent considerations.

LEG. 500: ASSIGNMENT #3 GUIDE

This Guide is intended to assist you as you start your last Assignment for this class. This

statement is in order: A good number of able students do not get higher grades for their

assignments for the simple reason that they do not pay close attention to assignment instructions.

Every assignment contains specific instructions which must be followed. Also, every assignment

is about specific issues. Make every effort to understand all issues raised in the assignment.

Structure your paper according to the issues involved. Finally, in the process of writing the

assignment [in this case a four (4) to six (6) page report], constantly refer to the Rubrics for this

assignment to make sure that you are meeting the requirements.

This assignment is about the Equal Protection Jurisprudence in the workplace as mandated by the

Fourteenth Amendment (section 1) to the US Constitution, and Title VII, as amended, of the

Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Supreme Court allows employers to voluntarily adopt hiring practices “to diversify their

workplaces provided such practices did not include express preferences based upon immutable

characteristics.” By immutable characteristics the Supreme Court means certain physical

attributes or traits which are perceived as unchangeable, entrenched, and innate. These

characteristics are acquired through accident of birth. They were not chosen. Race and sex are

immediate examples of immutable characteristics found in Constitutional and employment

discrimination Jurisprudence. But, note that civil rights laws and recent court decisions have

expanded the concept of immutability to include not just those traits the individual cannot

change, but also those considered too important for anyone to be asked to change. Sexual

orientation and religion are good examples. Also, the new employment discrimination

jurisprudence apply to characteristics on the borders of employment discrimination law’s

protection, such as obesity and pregnancy.

The Supreme Court encourages employers to diversify their workforces, but hiring practices

should not discriminate against other groups of employment applicants who do not possess

immutable characteristics. Merit must be the guiding principle for hiring vis -à-vis workforce

diversification. Your report must emphasize this requirement.
