Case Problem 9 – Liao Vs. TVA

In the case, we believe that the employer is required by Title VII to continue to give preference under the affirmative action program. It was their choice to hire her within good cause of that program, and unfortunately for them they have to follow the guidelines and restrictions of Title VII under that program. Furthermore, we feel as a violation of a voluntary affirmative action program cannot serve as the basis for a Title VII violation.  In conclusion, we feel as if the employer did not discriminate and was able to fire her.

In the findings and results of the case, it was found that TVA had every right to fire her and did not discriminate in any way shape or form. “the evidence would not support a finding that the defendant had otherwise violated the provisions of Title VII.” [1]
