6.1 Race and Color Discrimination Policies Discussion
Previous Next
Topic:
Atlas University is implementing new race and color discrimination and harassment policies for employees. The policies are designed to provide guidance as well as enforceable rules for dealing with race and color discrimination and harassment issues on campus and within the workplace. It is also believed by the University that implementation of these policies will reduce the risk liability to the University for claims based on race and color discrimination and harassment.
A first draft has been prepared and it reads as follows:
"Prohibited discrimination is any form of negative treatment of an employee by a university official which impacts an employee's employment opportunities and is based upon the employee's race or color. Prohibited discrimination of employees can also take the form of harassment even where there is no tangible impact upon the employee's employment opportunities and/or employment benefits.
Harassment is any activity that is unwelcome and that interferes with an individual's work by creating an offensive working environment. Such harassment of employees is prohibited by this Policy if it is based upon race or color. Conduct or behavior that is acceptable or amusing is permissible."
Take a look at the University's proposed race and color discrimination and harassment Policy and recommend at least four revisions to the Policy. Explain how your recommendations will improve the Policy and its purpose in serving as a guide and a "rule book" for employees, as well as in reducing the risk of liability to the University.
