Legal scholars have identified three theories of discrimination: disparate treatment, disparate impact, and reasonable accommodation. In addition, there is protection for those participating in discrimination cases or opposing discriminatory actions. In the act, these theories are stated in very general terms.
If the employer did not specifically state the action was motivated by discrimination, you will have to show that you were a member of a protected class, that the employer took an adverse action against you, and that the adverse action occurred under circumstances that give rise to an inference of discrimination.
