Aids In The Workplace: Termination, Discrimination And The Right To Refuse, J Scott Kenney
Dalhousie Law Journal
Not since the days of leprosy has there been a disease so feared and so fatal as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). The lack of knowledge about the disease has merely compounded the problem, so that not only AIDS victims themselves, but also members of perceived "high-risk" groups, face increasing discrimination in all facets of their lives. This paper will focus on only one of these contexts: the workplace. After a review of the current medical knowledge, two principal questions wifl-be examined: (i) What protection does the law give AIDS victims, or members of highrisk groups, against discrimination in employment? (ii) …

Private Enforcement And The Fair Housing Act, Robert G. Schwemm
Private Enforcement And The Fair Housing Act, Robert G. Schwemm
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The first section of the Fair Housing Act declares that "[i]t is the policy of the United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing throughout the United States."

Why does discrimination still regularly occur when minority homeseekers venture into white areas? Why are the opportunities for living in stable, integrated neighborhoods only marginally better now than they were a generation ago in the days of Lyndon Johnson, Everett McKinley …
