(Signature Assignment:  Information Literacy, Reinforced Level)

In this Case 1 you will be finding, selecting, and incorporating the most effective sources of information to support your discussion of Gelato's actions as they relate to discrimination laws and regulations. Give attention to the quality of sources utilized.

Exploring Equal Employment Opportunity and Discrimination Claims

Before starting this assignment, be sure that you are familiar with the following laws and their amendments:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Click on the link for a brief overview.)

Age Discrimination in Employment Act (Click on the link for a brief overview.)

Disparate/adverse impact and disparate/adverse treatment. (For a refresher, review the videos and PowerPoint presentation referenced on the Module 1 Background page.)

Begin this Case Assignment by reading the following scenario:

Gelato Cheese Company, a major processor of cheese sold throughout the United States, employs one hundred workers at its principal processing plant. The plant has a relatively young crew with 85% of the workforce between the ages of 25 and 35. The plant is in Heartland Corners, U.S.A., which has a population that is 50 percent white and 25 percent African American, with the balance being Hispanic American, Asian American and others. Gelato requires a high school diploma as a condition of employment for its cleaning crew. Right now, Gelato's entire cleaning crew is white.

In Heartland Corners, 75% of the white population has completed high school, compared with 25% of those in minority groups. How is this information important in considering whether Gelato is in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

In your educated opinion, should Gelato make any policy changes to ensure compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Should there be changes to comply with the ADEA? If so, what changes should Gelato make, and why are they necessary?

In your discussion be sure to discuss how Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act may or may not apply, and how the concepts of disparate treatment and adverse impact may or may not apply.

Bring in any applicable background readings plus at least 5 TUI library sources to strengthen your position.

Upload your paper by the module due date. The paper should be 4-5 pages, not counting the cover and reference pages.
