Supreme Court Gives Stamp of Approval to Disparate Impact
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that disparate impact claims can legally be brought under the Fair Housing Act. Disparate impact means that even if business practices are on their face neutral in regards to the prohibited bases (such as race) if they can be shown to adversely impact a protected group, a legal claim can be brought. This is a big deal. [6/25/15]
