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 Assignment by reading the following scenario:
Tillamook 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 Corinth, Pennsylvania, which has a
population that is 50 percent white and 25 percent African American, with the balance being Hispanic
American, Asian American and others. Tillamook requires a high school diploma as a condition of
employment for its cleaning crew. Right now, Tillamook's entire cleaning crew is white.
Integrate your response to the following questions as you prepare your Assignment:
In Corinth, 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 Tillamook is in compliance
with the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
In your educated opinion, should Tillamook 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 Tillamook 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.
