Scenario
Bob, an officer at a large university, is hiring faculty. Because of retirements, he has six positions to fill. Bob meets with his HR Representative and tells her that, because of the University’s Affirmative Action plan, he wants to hire all international candidates for the positions because he thinks they work harder than American faculty do. If Bob’s HR Representative agrees with this plan, are any employment laws being broken? Could candidates not hired meet the tests above?
