Refer to the details there, including the Historical Hiring
and Promotion Data chart to write a thread that answers the following 3
questions.
You only need to write a paragraph for each question:
Compute flow and concentration statistics. There are two
different methods for conducting disparate impact analysis in this case.
One is to contrast the representation of White employees compared to
non-white employees as a group. Another is to contrast the difference in
representation of White employees compared to specific racial/ethnic
subgroups (e.g., White compared to African-American). Because the case
is being brought specifically on behalf of an African-American
plaintiff, this is the most important contrast, but Tanglewood would
like to see what the data look like for non-Whites as a whole as well.
Examine the selection ratios for all job categories, and determine
whether the evidence points to disparate impact discrimination using the
4/5th ratio.
Examine the concentration data and determine whether the relative
proportions of White, non-White, and African-American employees are
similar across job categories, or if there appears to be a concentration
of White employees in upper management positions.
