Your first task is to select a suitable article that is related to Equal Employment Opportunity:
In light of issues related to racial, social, and economic justice; discrimination and harassment based on race, gender, national origin, religion, and disability; etc. you should be able to find articles for an EC review paper.
The article you select must have been published after March 1, 2020 in a newspaper, business magazine, or journal, whether in print or on-line format. News articles or academic journal articles are appropriate. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution regularly publish articles on business law topics, as does Bloomberg News, Forbes, Business Week and Fortune magazines.
Do NOT use an article or reading from the course e-book or a story from Yahoo News (or similar outlet), company or agency press release, information posted on corporate or private websites, etc.
In addition, make sure that the article you select raises a legal issue in business or examines that business topic from a legal perspective. It should be long enough (typically at least 1000 words) and provide sufficient background and/or detail to enable you to discuss its legal significance.
If it doesn’t, you may combine your article with related articles that collectively provide sufficient information for the paper. If you base your paper on more than one article, attach all the articles you used to the paper.
Note: Points will be deducted for inappropriate articles, by either topic or date!
Writing the paper:
Download the form from the next page. Write your paper in the form, expanding sections as needed, but do not exceed two pages, without prior approval. This paper is worth up to 15 extra-credit points.
• First, provide the bibliographic information for your article. If you located your article on-line, make sure that you provide the full web address as well as the title, author and date of your article.
• Next, summarize the article. Assume that I have not read the article you selected. Make sure you provide enough information in your summary so that I can understand the topic without opening the link to your article. If I have to read your article to understand the summary or to identify the legal issue(s) it raises, you will not receive much credit for this section of the paper.
• Finally, explain in some detail how your article relates to the course. Be specific. For example, assume you selected an article about an employment discrimination case decided by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in September 2016 (too old for this semester, but a good example!). The employer had conditionally offered a job to an African American applicant, but then refused to hire her when she would not cut her dreadlocks to comply with the company’s “grooming standards.” The court held that this did not constitute race discrimination. You would need to explain (and much more fully than the following) that Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, which the Court interpreted to mean biological characteristics, rejecting the EEOC’s argument that race also includes cultural characteristics associated with a particular race. You might also discuss the impact that focusing exclusively on biological factors might have an impact on LGBT cases alleging discrimination on the basis of gender. NOTE: This section is weighted more heavily than the summary, so spend some time writing a thoughtful essay linking the content of your article to LGLS 3610!
