[QUOTE="athena, post: 275617, member: 9953"] No it is not. Adverse impact alone is not enough of a reason for an employer to get into trouble for having too few minorities in a job. In fact, an employer would be just as liable for choosing unqualified or underqualified minority group individuals over majority group individuals. Adverse impact is simply a numerical calculation to see if there is potentially discriminatory practices in a company. There are many, many regulations, precendents set by court cases, scientific research, and so on that go into deciding what is legal and illegal. Trust me, companies can not just hire someone who is a minority because he/she is a minority. They must have valid selection procedures regardless of the demographic mix of a company. If fact, companies have been held responsible when they took the easy route and based hiring decisions on race alone. It isn't ever okay to use race as the sole basis for hiring/promotion decisions.
