AZAP is a tech start-up founded by four guys who grew up together. So far, they’ve hired about a dozen employees, all men That’s largely because about 80% of the applications have been from male applicants. While AZAP has no federal or other government contracts now, it wants to be well-positioned to get them in the future. 

The company is also aware of the buzz about diversity in the workplace. So, Serge, who’s in charge of recruiting, has decided that going forward, two of out every three hires will be female. To that end, he’s revised the online application to screen for indicia of gender and, while he was at it, to additionally screen for date of high school graduation. Serge made the latter change because AZAP only wants applicants who have grown up in the digital world. Analyze the fact pattern using the IRAC formula. 

Be sure to First, identify the narrow issue(s) arising out of Serge’s changes to the recruiting process. Second, identify and describe the rule or test the courts use to analyze such issues. To receive points for this part of the question, you must reference a case in the course reading in which the rule/test was applied. 

Be sure to identify the case by its full name and give the page on which it appears in the course reading. Third, discuss how the court applied the rule to the salient or most important facts in that case (the court’s analysis.) Finally, analyze our fact pattern, i.e., apply the rule to our fact pattern and describe the conclusion that you anticipate a court would reach based on the law and our facts. If additional information would be helpful to your analysis, explain how and why it would impact the analysis.
