The Importance Of Immutability In Employment Discrimination Law, Sharona Hoffman
The Importance Of Immutability In Employment Discrimination Law, Sharona Hoffman
Faculty Publications
This article argues that recent developments in employment discrimination law require a renewed focus on the concept of immutable characteristics. In 29 two new laws took effect: the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA). This Article’s original contribution is an evaluation of the employment discrimination statutes as a corpus of law in light of these two additions.
The Article thoroughly explores the meaning of the term “immutable characteristic” in constitutional and employment discrimination jurisprudence. It postulates that immutability constitutes a unifying principle for all of the traits now covered by the employment …
Straight Is Better: Why Law And Society May Legitimately Prefer Heterosexuality, George W. Dent
Straight Is Better: Why Law And Society May Legitimately Prefer Heterosexuality, George W. Dent
Faculty Publications
America is embroiled in a culture war over homosexuality. The homosexual movement demands the end of “heteronormativity” - the social and legal preference for heterosexuality. It insists that “Gay Is Good” - just as good as heterosexuality. This article presents a defense of heteronormativity; it argues that straight is better. In particular, it argues that naturally conceiving, bearing and raising children is intrinsically good for parents; that it is both intrinsically and instrumentally good for children to be raised by their biological parents who are married to each other; and that traditional marriage is both intrinsically and instrumentally good for …
Teaching Gender As A Core Value In Business Organizations Class, Cheryl L. Wade
Teaching Gender As A Core Value In Business Organizations Class, Cheryl L. Wade
Faculty Publications
(Excerpt)
I teach a business organizations course that is typically a large class with up to ninety students. At some point in the first week of each semester, I talk about public companies and the men who lead them. I point out to my students that while it is appropriate in most contexts to use gender-neutral language, it would be inaccurate to do so when talking about big business. Only fifteen percent of the board seats at Fortune 500 companies are held by women, and only sixteen percent of Fortune 500 corporate officers are women. I let my students know …
Defamation Of Religion: Rumors Of Its Death Are Greatly Exaggerated, Robert C. Blitt
Defamation Of Religion: Rumors Of Its Death Are Greatly Exaggerated, Robert C. Blitt
Scholarly Works
This Article explores the recent decisions by the United Nations (“UN”) Human Rights Council and General Assembly to adopt consensus resolutions aimed at “combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of, and discrimination, incitement to violence and violence against, persons based on religion or belief.” These resolutions represent an effort to move past a decade’s worth of contentious roll call votes in favor of prohibiting defamation of religion within the international human rights framework. Although labeled “historic” resolutions, this Article argues that the UN’s new compromise approach endorsed in 2011 — and motivated in part by the desire to end years …

Employment Retaliation And The Accident Of Text, Alex B. Long
Employment Retaliation And The Accident Of Text, Alex B. Long
Scholarly Works
This Article explores the current and future landscape of employment retaliation law following the Supreme Court’s decisions in Thompson v. North American Stainless, LP and Kasten v. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corp. As the law currently exists, statutory retaliation plaintiffs win or lose largely due to the accident of statutory text rather than the fact that the law is operating as Congress envisioned or as part of a coherent scheme of regulation. In short, the federal approach to workplace retaliation is inefficient, unnecessarily complex, and in need of major reform. Contrary to popular thinking, the article concludes that the text of …
