Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Fran should not inspect Lucas' work just because he has asked for time off based on a religious holiday.

Answer option A is incorrect. There's no evidence of past historical discrimination in this example.

Answer option B is incorrect. This isn't a valid answer for the question as any discrimination based on religion falls into disparate discrimination.

Answer option C is incorrect. Quality control does inspect the quality of the work, but it's equal for all project deliverables, not just the deliverables tied to Lucas and his request for time off for the religious holiday.

I'm pretty sure it's Griggs versus Duke Power, 1971. That case really shook up the HR world back in the day. Kinda like when your boss asks you to take a DNA test to prove you're not an alien, you know?

I agree with Annelle, because in that case, discrimination was found even though it was not intentional.

Griggs versus Duke Power, 1971 is the correct answer. This landmark case established that even neutral employment practices that have a disproportionate adverse impact on protected groups can be considered discriminatory.
