Most Title VII cases fall into the disparate treatment category because it is so rare to find proof of the intentional discrimination required in disparate impact cases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disparate treatment cases involve allegations of intentional discrimination, whereas disparate impact cases concern policies that apply to everyone but disproportionately affect members of a protected class. Disparate impact does not require proof of intentional discrimination, making it incorrect to say that most Title VII cases fall into the disparate treatment category because of the rarity of finding proof of intentional discrimination required in disparate impact cases.
