http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jan/1/eeoc-high-school-diploma-might-violate-americans-w/

Employers are facing more uncertainty in the wake of a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission warning them that requiring a high school diploma from a job applicant might violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.


This is great news! No only does America suck in the Education dept, but now more incentive to not go to college!!@

If you can't graduate HS I don't want you working for me. It shows me a lack of commitment.

"The “informal discussion letter” from the EEOC said an employer’s requirement of a high school diploma, long a standard criterion for screening potential employees, must be “job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity.” The letter was posted on the commission’s website on Dec. 2.

Employers could run afoul of the ADA if their requirement of a high school diploma “‘screens out’ an individual who is unable to graduate because of a learning disability that meets the ADA’s definition of ‘disability,’” the EEOC explained.

The commission’s advice, which does not carry the force of law, is raising alarms among employment-law professionals, who say it could carry far-reaching implications for businesses.

Maria Greco Danaher, a lawyer with the labor and employment law firm Ogletree Deakins, said the EEOC letter means that employers must determine whether job applicants whose learning disabilities kept them from obtaining diplomas can perform the essential job functions, with or without reasonable accommodation. She said the development is “worthy of notice” for employers.

“While an employer is not required to ‘prefer’ a learning-disabled applicant over other applicants with more extensive qualifications, it is clear that the EEOC is informing employers that disabled individuals cannot be excluded from consideration for employment based upon artificial barriers in the form of inflexible qualification standards,” she wrote in a blog post."

OH MY GOD we might not be able to discriminate against disabled people who can't graduate because of their disability, the sky is falling!!11

I often get the impression people like Kamdar don't even bother to ead the articles they post and just go with the one sentence "summary" they get from their talking points website. laugh

Edit: Also, it isn't "to be illegal." The EEOC's letter has no status as force of law. It shows the agency's interpretation but that doesn't make it the law.

This is why more and more employers are doing preemployment tests with basic math and other skills the average person shouldve learned in HS. This is how they weed out the dropouts

Well, you said you got him with your question regarding his college degree (which I think is kind of mandatory in his line of work, no?), making my interpretation the most plausible. But feel free to explain what else you meant if I was wrong.

Yes, that's actually what he is saying. And he believes it makes sense. He's a member of the Goldfish Consortium... it is useless arguing with that kind of counterproductive illogical nanny-dom.

Hi Crooq happy


I haven't been here long. I don't know what his job is, and frankly neither do I care. This is the Internet, I am not interested in knowning someones' personal details happy I think it should stay private


Also, I never said I got tych, all I was saying is he might have a degree, but in his instance, it certainly is not an indicator of being educated. He is barbarous happy Anyone who agrees with the hurting of another people for self gain is definately uneducated, inhumane and a danger to humanity as a whole happy


I eagerly await the stupidity of the comments to follow by tych, reese, and moe, and this obviously inbred bobdumbass guy.


Its ok, with people like this around humanity is forever cursed to being infantile.

You need to hire a lawyer to figure out if you can require a high school diploma for a job application.




To me, "you can't use an arbitrary requirement of a high school diploma to weed out disabled people you don't want to hire because they're disabled" seems pretty clear.

Maybe you need a lawyer. But that seems like more of a personal problem.

It doesn't really seem that hard to understand. If you're hiring for a garbage collector and you demand your applicants show the ability to run a marathon in 5 hours you are going to be conveniently screening out pretty much anyone disabled. The law says you can't discriminate against disabled people in hiring simply because they're disabled. I don't think it takes a lawyer to see why arbitrary requirements that screen out disabled people can be a problem legally.

If you want to write to congress to demand they repeal Title VII and the ADEA go for it. I am not sure you are going to have so much luck convincing them that anyone who thinks you shouldn't be able to abritrarily discriminate against minorities and disabled people is a fool.

Keep digging that hole.

There is no job in the US for which someone can claim completing high school is an irrelevancy.

None.

It is entirely dependent on the level of expertise and general functionality any particular employer requires of their employees, by particular position and even by particular year of hire. It is NOT able to fit into some one size fits all government definition. It is more typical bullshite government micromanagement.

Period.

There is no other rational position here.

What sort of argument is that? "Because its possible someone somewhere might need a garbage collector with a high school education anyone can require it for any position"? What sort of sense does that make?

They didn't say you can't require a high school diploma period. They said requiring a high school diploma with no good reason for it, when the result is to discriminate against disabled people, may get you into trouble under the ADEA.

If you don't agree with the basic idea we shouldn't be able to discriminate against disabled people in hiring that's one thing. I don't think you're going to win, but that's at least a coherent argument. Arguing that a high school diploma is always relevant in all jobs because it might possibly be relevant in some jobs is just dumb.

That's your straw man. Not mine.

You cannot be in the mind of small businesses when they decide to ask for a high school diploma, and you cannot know why they would ask or should ask.

If an employer simply wants to ask on the fly if a particular person who simply appears disengaged, disinterested, lazy, of poor attitude, incapable of following conversation, etc can finish what they started well enough to complete schooling in a public-education country where they are LEGALLY FORCED to attend 10-11 years of that 12... they should damned well be able to ask.

So we're back to "we should be able to arbitrarily discriminate against disabled people if we feel like it."

Or maybe "there's a special high school diploma exception: you can arbitrarily discriminate against disabled people by asking for a high school diploma but not in other ways"?

Neither one seems to make a lot of sense.

There's a floor of competency, communication, comprehension, and basic ability to persevere in virtually any business where humans interact (read: ALL of them). It isn't up to the government to de-facto mandate that floor wasting millions/billions more in regulation and compliance cost in the process.

But how does having a high school diploma reflect that?

We're going in circles because you refuse to take any real stand. You've bounced back and forth from "high school diplomas are always relevant!" to "no one shoudl be able to second guess employers making hiring decisions" to "maybe there's a special exception for diplomas that means you can arbitarily discriminate using them but not in other ways."

I think you continue to jump around because you realize none of these positions make a lot of sense.

There's nothing inconsistent with my statements. There is a floor below which an employer choosing to grant you any job is charity. Failure to achieve a high school diploma, in today's America, is pretty close to that level where charity begins.

Hmm, so now we can add a forth rationale: "You should be able to discriminate against disabled losers - but not disabled winners - using arbitrary criteria because they should be grateful for any job."

It seems pretty clear you have made up your mind based on some emotional objection and are casting around for a rationale. You've come up with four distinct justifications so far.

Why are you still arguing? You have your task, after that I MIGHT listen to you:

Prove why achieving a H.S. diploma or G.E.D. isn't relevant for a janitor or garbage collector.

It isn't the government's job to decide where qualification ends and charity begins... although we are LETTING them make it their business to mandate everyone generating revenue and taxes become a charity for the other 50%.

A High School graduate should have a basic understanding of mathematics and working knowledge of the English language. Just like finishing a college degree is supposed to teach you critical thinking, problem solving and working in groups.

If a person is without a high school diploma/equivalent you're only hoping the potential employee can read and hand out the proper change.

If somebody does not have a high school diploma as a result of not accommodating a recognized learning disability this is an issue between that individual and the school system for not getting one and should be settled between as a discrimination issue between the school and the individual not passed on as a responsibility for the rest of the world.

That isn't how the law works. It's the burden of the perpson alleging business necessity to show why their selection criteria is a business necessity. grin

And there's a reason "relevant" isn't the standard. Almost anything can be "relevant" to almost any position. Having an MA in accounting probably helps you be a better fast food teller but it certainly wouldn't fly as a requirement being used to weed out disabled people and minorities. grin

This is a bit of an odd justification too. "If someone has gotten screwed in the past as a child because their school system or parent didn't do things right for them, everyone else should be given a pass on screwing them too."

I guess it is kinda a variation on AA's "it's ok to discriminate against disabled people as long as they are losers" rationale.

When you don't get hired for any job you were discriminated against. You weren't the one they favored, to be more competitive a person should at least go through high school so discrimination can go their way.

They wouldn't be getting screwed by the people setting a legitimate bar of requiring a high school diploma. They'd be in a perpetual state of getting screwed by the school system for not accommodating their learning disability (which does not mean simply passing the student or bypassing standards, but providing for services such as reading questions to dyslexic children, a quiet environment for exams for students with ADHD, etc...). It all comes back to one problem between a student and the school system. Why should the rest of the world have to change their standards in order to accommodate an issue between two parties?

It's not as if once a person does not receive a high school diploma that they will not and can not ever have a high school diploma in their lives. It's not a one shot deal.

If we want to stretch things the way you seem to want to stretch things then JPL should be forced to hire people with electrical engineering degrees from an online degree mill because that student might have only been able to get into that college instead of MIT because of a learning disability and you can't look at the difference of credentials between the two schools because that's a possibility.

I fail to see how a HS Diploma or lack thereof has any standing on whether a person "appears disengaged, disinterested, lazy, of poor attitude, incapable of following conversation, etc."

If you cannot figure that out without the High School Diploma question... should you really be making hiring decisions?

If it's legitimate it's fine.

The problem comes when people start setting arbitrary standards which in effect rule out minorities and disabled people.

Contrary to AA's unsupported assertion, there are plenty of jobs for which a high school diploma really ISN'T required or even remotely related. Construction, cleaning, collection being obvious exmaples.

I think it's well within a company's right to determine the education level required for their employees regardless of the position as long as it's uniform and consistent. It's their business and their determination.

Absolutely agree. I don't see a high school diploma as one of them unless you're only asking for one from particular applicants.

I can't agree with you there. For many employers a high school diploma (even a university one often times) is often viewed as more of a reflection on your ability to follow through with commitments and complete tasks rather than how much you actually know about something. If an employer decides that a high school diploma is a benchmark then they should be allowed to set it as a benchmark as long as they do so consistently.

because questioning the necessity of high school diploma requirements doesn't equate to being forced to treat all graduate programs and advanced degrees as equal.

I can't agree with you there. For many employers a high school diploma (even a university one often times) is often viewed as more of a reflection on your ability to follow through with commitments and complete tasks rather than how much you actually know about something. If an employer decides that a high school diploma is a benchmark then they should be allowed to set it as a benchmark as long as they do so consistently.



So is this the "special exception" rationale? What if they wanted to require a B.A. for their garbage collectors? What about an MA? A PhD? Is all of that fine, when you know the result of that is going to be a bunch of disabled and minority people who could do the job perfectly well being screened out of the job?

You can question the necessity of all degrees and diplomas from high school ones to graduate ones with respect to the specific tasks a role entails so I fail to see the difference.

Yep, that'd be just fine for me. If that's the benchmark that they believe that they need for their business to be successful then so be it as long as they are consistent in their hiring policies with it. They just can't say that so-and-so would require a PhD but the average white-guy with a high school diploma is ok. Good luck for them finding people with a BA, MA, or PhD that will accept the position. There's a reason why low income jobs usually only require a high school diploma if anything at all and it's not because of worrying about discrimination.

I think your analogy shows you may be misunderstanding the issue, Shim. The EEOC didn't say you can't consider a high school diploma a plus in a hiring decision (assuming there is some reasonable basis for considering it a plus - probably not hard to do for any reasonably long-term job on the basis that it shows commitment and reliability). It just said you can't make it an absolute bar unless there is a defensible business nececssity for doing so.

The correct analogy would be a job posting which read "only those with an Ivy League degree will be considered."

You're right, I only glanced at the piece and this thread as I am working. I missed the "defensible business necessity" part. If that's the case then this is really a complete and total non-issue. The letter has no teeth in the first place. Commitment and reliability alone would be a directly relate to pretty much any position a company would be hiring for so I don't see how this would get enforced even if it were implemented as an actual law unless it was a situation such as the one that I described before where only some people are required to have a high school degree. I'd love to see a committee try and determine which positions "legitimately" require a high school diploma instead of ones that don't.

I maintain my position that if a company decides to set an education level benchmark based upon their business needs (perceived or actual) that is something that shouldn't be taken away from them from the graduate level down to the high school/GED level as long as they are consistent. If a fast food restaurant believes as part as their strategy they will only be successful if they hire MBAs and they set that as their standard then they're entitled to do so. It doesn't sound like you completely disagree.

As a side note, there's a real problem in this country with people discriminating against those with a GED instead of a high school diploma as though it's a lesser achievement. That's an example of a truly equivalent diploma that employers will often unfairly overlook in favor of a high school diploma.

What is there to prove? And how would you expect someone to prove the negative?

The law is set up the way it is for a reason. It's the employer's job to justify why he thinks something is business necessity, not the employee's job to somehow disprove all possibilities.

An average janitor's job duties don't involve anything remotely requiring a diploma. You don't need a diploma to brush junk into a garbage can. They don't teach you anything in high school about that.

If the point is a high school diploma could be considered a plus - sure, it might be. But a REQUIREMENT? Of course not.

Only if you really want to support the lawyer.

Just look at your want ads and see if the requirements you are posting really have a connection to the job. Go down the list of the requirements and spell out a justification for each. If you can't come up with something that passes a basic sniff test that's a clue you might want to get a lawyer but otherwise I wouldn't waste your money.

doh!

WHERE did you study law and logic? Bloat? Figures.

The DEFAULT position of any sane employer is to ask about qualifications, work ethic and education. You are the one who needs to prove the positive... that it is necessary and valid to expend time, effort, and money to PREVENT that default action for certain jobs as regards (specifically) a high school diploma.

The problem Yuk is you are asking humans without the base background in a business to take control of who is hired over someone who has this background.

If someone is a good worker I should have the right to promote them over someone who has been there longer. If I feel my garbage truck driver should have the capability of advancement or I would not waste my time training them; that should be my choice. It should not be the choice of a government official with no understanding of my requirements or future goals.

People discriminate all the time. We use to call that a judgment call. You need to think instead of doing the liberal reaction to what you see as an injustice. Freedom is ugly sometimes but it is far better than slavery.

No one's saying you arn't allowed to ask. But they are saying that the law says that you can't use an arbitrary requirement to screen out disabled people. And the law is set up to put the burden of explaining why your requirement isn't arbitrary on the employer...you know, the one who knows why they made it a requirement in the first place?

If you view a high school diploma as a positive for a job applicant no one's picking a bone with you. If you throw anyone without a diploma in the trash and you can't articulate a good reason why, and the effect of that is that you're discriminating against disabled people, the law does have a problem with it.

And no one's trying to take those choices away from you.

Your examples are silly because they have nothing to do with the issue.

What about this one:

Do you also think you should be able to choose not to hire a disabled person, even though they're perfectly qualified for the job, simply because you don't want to hire a disabled person?

In order to even get off home plate, you must prove a High School diploma is, in fact, an invalid requirement to ask for or use in screening *any* job. Any job at all.

We're still waiting. We'll wait a long time because your position is unprovable and unknowable. Therefore, it has no business existing in law. None whatsoever.

It is forced charity. And nothing more.

A lot of this, I suspect, is coming around now due to NCLB and shrinking state budgets.

NCLB = standardized grad requirements = more Special Ed students walking away without a diploma.
State budgets = fewer handouts for the disabled

Put them together and you probably have yet another disturbing trend in the job market - more disabled people looking for work with no diploma.

The thing is, although this is likely a problem on the rise, this isn't really anything new. HR departments aren't (or shouldn't be) scrambling to suddenly justify every diploma-less applicant they turned away. An HR person should be capable of articulating the reasons basing a job hire on diploma status a hell of a lot better than AA's "Tell my why I shouldn't" (which, by the way, probably would be rather dumb to try in the context of a discrimination lawsuit). In fact I doubt this is new to anyone who hires en mass at the general level of pr0n-shop jizzmopper. EEOC's recommendations are typically built from court precedent, since the court has to spend so much time defining the obnoxiously vague wording of Title VII and ADA.

What on earth are you on about now? Because having a high school diploma is relevant for some jobs employers should be able to require it for all jobs? Is that a serious argument?

Uh, at first you were asking me to prove why you don't need a high school diploma to be a janitor. I explained that isn't how the law works but that it is pretty self-evident that you don't need a high school diploma to be an effective janitor.

Unless I was misunderstanding, your last post was the first time you claimed I had to prove a high school diploma is completely irrelevant to every job in the world.

Good lord. This is just rank ignorance.

The ADEA doesn't require you to hire anyone who can't do the job. The whole point is that you can't discriminate against someone who's disabled but who can do the job fine despite that disability.

If you're hiring a linebacker and the guy is in a wheelchair nothing in the ADEA requires you to ignore the fact he can't walk much less run or tackle.

Unhh.. because every school I've ever been to had retards as janitors ? Ask me how many of those retards has a HS diploma.

Unhh.. because garbage collection hire criminals, and a lot of them don't have a H.S diploma ( if you were to check you could see for yourself). and they're doing a great job picking up my garbage.

Subject: Good news to you Outposters..HS Diploma req. to be illegal...
I have known several janitors who didn't have a high school diploma who did janitorial work just fine. As far as I know there were never any complaints about them.

I'm not sure what exactly you want. Expert witness testimony from a vocational counselor?
