.  Essay question. Analyze whether Ben has a valid Title VII claim.

Ben, who is African-American, is employed by Acme Corp. He has received good job performance evaluations during his 10 years there. In 2017 Diane became his supervisor. Diane and Ben did not get along, and often had arguments over how best to deal with various client requests. In 2019, Diane transferred Ben to a new position in the company, in a different section, that paid a salary $2000 lower than Ben’s previous salary. Diane stated she did this because she was tired of having arguments with Ben, and she felt it would be better for the company if he had a different job with a different manager.  Ben was replaced in Diane’s section with a white employee, and the other employees in that section were white and Hispanic.

Answer #1

Ben has a valid claim under section VII for discrimination because of race and color , because he was demoted to an inferior position with lower wages by his supervisor who was not comfortable with his suggestions about the work, which she presumably deemed inferior and unworthy of attention because they came from someone with color. His claim is also bolstered because he never got an adverse review during ten years of work for his performance. Another fact that makes his claim strong is that he was the only one with African origin and the person who replaced him was white, and thus presumably more competent and compatible in the view of the boss.
