MGMT 348 - Discrimination and the Law


2023-2024 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0


This course will focus on past and current statutory law and case law at the federal, state and local levels aimed, with varying degrees of success, at preventing illegal discrimination with respect to employment, places of public accommodation, law enforcement, voting, education and marriage. The impact of these laws on business and society-at-large will be examined. Efforts of the business sector and public sector to avoid these laws, or to address discrimination, will be reviewed. Notable compliance failures and successes will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be placed on discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and LGBTQ+ status. Focus will be on the United States experience, but it will be contrasted with the experience in other countries.
