The Civil Rights Act of 1991 requires that employers show that an employment practice is job related for a position. This is known as the "business necessity" standard and it is designed to prevent discrimination against protected groups in employment practices. The act does not require employers to show instances of a glass ceiling or discourage affirmative action, and it does not require employers to avoid making status-blind employment decisions.
