FAQ
Affirmative action in Arizona refers to the steps taken by employers and universities in Arizona to increase the proportions of historically disadvantaged minority groups at those institutions.
Title VII applies to private-sector employers with 15 or more employees, to state and local government employers with 15 or more employees, and to the federal government as an employer. Title VII also applies to unions and employment agencies. Title VII does not apply to Tribal nations.
Employers, labor organizations and other persons subject to title VII may take affirmative action based on an analysis which reveals facts constituting actual or potential adverse impact, if such adverse impact is likely to result from existing or contemplated practices. (b) Effects of prior discriminatory practices.
Fair employment practices The Arizona Civil Rights Act (ACRA) provides protections similar to those provided under federal law. The ACRA covers employers with 15 or more employees and prohibits employment discrimination based on protected characteristics including: Race. Color.
The law is known as the Arizona Employment Protection Act (AEPA), and it provides that an employer violates the AEPA if an employee is terminated in retaliation for the following. The refusal by the employee to commit an act or omission that would violate the Constitution of Arizona or the statutes of this state.

Affirmative action or diversity program. Several U.S. Courts of Appeals and district courts have determined that Title VII does not permit an employer with a racially balanced workforce to grant a nonremedial racial preference in order to promote racial diversity.
However, discrimination is a state of mind and, therefore, notoriously hard to prove. Sophisticated employers are well aware that discrimination is illegal. Thus, most cases are established through circumstantial evidence.
The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.
