Law360 Publishes Latest Flashpoints Column by Dawn Solowey, Sam Schwartz-Fenwick, and Emily Miller on Navigating Anti-American Bias Scrutiny

Law360 published a new Flashpoints article by Dawn Solowey, Sam Schwartz-Fenwick, and Emily Miller: “Flashpoints In Focus: Navigating Anti-American Bias Scrutiny.” The piece, published on October 30 as a part of Seyfarth's monthly Flashpoints in Focus column, examines the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s increased focus on alleged anti-American employment discrimination and the implications for employers under Title VII.

The article discusses how employers can address complaints involving national origin discrimination, language disputes, hiring and visa-related practices, employee resource groups, and social media activity.

Solowey, Schwartz-Fenwick, and Miller outline practical steps employers can take to mitigate risk, including consistently investigating complaints, auditing recruiting and staffing practices, reviewing inclusion programs, and applying documented criteria to employment decisions.

"Employers that separate political disagreement from protected status discrimination, examine language and visa-related practices carefully, and make employment decisions through consistent, documented criteria will be better positioned to manage the next cultural flashpoint before it becomes a legal dispute."
