Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

D) In American Tobacco Company v Patterson, the Supreme Court allows seniority and promotion systems established since Title VII to stand, although they unintentionally hurt minority workers. Under Griggs v Duke Power Co., a prima facie violation of Title VII may be established by policies or practices that are neutral on their face and in intent, but that nonetheless discriminate against a particular group.
