Question

Sienna Inc., a software firm, decided to hire a technical expert. The company conducted an aptitude test followed by structured interviews for candidates. David, an African American, did exceptionally well in all the assessments but was rejected. Sienna has been known for discrimination against African Americans in several instances. David filed a case against Sienna on charges of racial discrimination. In the context of affirmative action, the company is most likely required to:a. promote other minority employees in the company.b. hire other African Americans to compensate for David’s loss.c. pay attorney’s fees and court costs for David.

d. refer David to another company.

Answer 1

Refer David to another company.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given case, promoting other minority employees is not the correct action because the victim is David. Hiring other African Americans make up for David's loss is not the correct answer either because of the same reason. Paying David's legal costs is not an effort towards compensating for the discrimination. The company is likely required to give David a referral to another company which is the only action that affects David directly in terms of compensation. I hope this was helpful.
