Suppose you work for a major hotel chain in a human resources leadership capacity. One day,
your boss asks you to dra a memo for the company’s leadership team regarding the propriety
of affirmave acon in hiring. The company is concerned that its employee base isn’t diverse
enough, and that they risk scruny and perhaps even disparate impact discriminaon penales if
their workforce demographics were to ever be audited by the government.
In no less than 2,000 words, take a stance on the issue of affirmave acon, and arculate your
opinion to your company’s leaders in a professional memo. Although you will be defending one
side of this issue (either for or against), be sure to analyze and discuss BOTH sides. Your

1. What are the arguments in favor of each side?
2. What are the arguments against each side?
3. What relevant case law exists on the subject of affirmave acon? Which side does it
favor?
4. What is the EEOC’s current posion on voluntary workplace affirmave acon policies?
5. What other companies in the industry have adopted affirmave acon policies? To
which minories do they give preference?

Remember that this project is a legal analysis of facts and circumstances, not an editorial piece.
In the law, you don’t get to say something ought to be a certain way because “that’s the way I
feel”. You must defend your posion with sound, raonal reasoning. As such, research is an
integral part of this project. Your memo should include a minimum of 5 external sources, and
they must be cited properly in APA format.
This is copy and pasted straight from the syllabus.
