Question:

Bridget applied for a TV news commentator’s job. She has adequate experience to satisfy the job description but was denied the job. Bridget has a substantial birthmark that covers one side of her face. The TV producer told her that viewers would find it distracting from her news commentary. He explained to Bridget that her interview would be discussed with upper management but she probably would not be hired. The TV ethics and compliance officer finds this grossly unfair to Bridget and is concerned about the company’s legal liability if she brings a claim under the ADA. Explain the company’s legal liability. The ethics and compliance officer called a manager’s meeting to discuss the ethics of not hiring Bridget. Explain the ethical implications of the company’s decision using ethical principles.
