Questions to Consider (End of Chapter)

1. What are reasonable accommodations? How does a company determine what is “reasonable” and what is not?
2. What similarities exist between perceptions about the competence and performance of workers with disabilities and older workers?
3. In the $561,000 DuPont disability discrimination judgment, even if Ms. Barrios had been unable to walk, what steps could have been taken to assist her if the need to evacuate the building arose? Speculate on reasons this case was not resolved before Ms. Barrios was terminated or after she filed her discrimination charge with the EEOC but before the jury trial.
4. How can recommendations for employment equity for people with disabilities be helpful in ensuring equity for other non-dominant group members?
