Under disparate impact analysis, certain practices might be considered discriminatory if they have a disproportionate adverse impact on a protected class of persons, even without discriminatory intent. A number of commentators have noted an expansion of the use of disparate impact analysis in the federal government to areas other than employment, now including education, housing, government contracting, and auto financing, to name a few.
Prof. Gail Heriot of the University of San Diego School of Law will discuss whether or not there has been such an increase, and, if so, what the ramifications might be.
1 Hour CLE credit requested. Appetizers will be served.
