Description

Each year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reports the number of complaints of harassment and discrimination they receive due to protected categories, including: national origin, race, color, sex, genetic information, sexual harassment, age, disability, pregnancy, and retaliation. These complaints were not successfully resolved by employers. This course explores the way legislation directs and regulates the relationship between an employer and employee. Students will examine how legal principles relate to the organizations in which employees function. In addition, this course will address legal issues in non-profits and entrepreneurial firms. Students will also learn how to investigate complaints properly, as well as engage in preventative measures for harassment and discrimination.
