Disparate Impact & Treatment

We have learned this week that Title VII prohibits intentional discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. We also learned that Title VII prohibits both “disparate treatment” and “disparate impact” discrimination.

Discrimination can be both unintentional and intentional. Compare and contrast discrimination that occurs by both disparate treatment and disparate impact. Explain how a HR department can minimize disparate treatment and disparate impact discrimination. Provide an example of each and provide a rationale for your selections. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words.
