Abstract

The article discusses the U.S. Supreme Court case Ricci v. DeStefano, involving the disparate claims under Title VII section 703 of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1991. It was held that an employer cannot toss racially disparate test results unless that employer has a "strong basis in evidence." It provides information on a legislative amendment to Title VII which will circumvent the Civil Rights Act by forcing employers to accept results of racially discriminatory employment tests.
