- Title
The Agency Roots of Disparate Impact.
- Authors
Johnson, Olatunde C. A.
- Abstract
The article discusses U.S. government agencies in relation to the disparate impact strand of antidiscrimination law as of 2014, focusing on the ability to challenge allegedly harmful employment, education, and housing policies without having the burden of proving intentional discrimination. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and several U.S. Supreme Court cases are addressed, including Ricci v. DeStefano which deals with Title VII of the nation's Civil Rights Act of 1964.
