- Ferrotin 5y agoNo, you’re wrong here, it’s not a term of art.

- Ferrotin 5y agoYour link is evidence for my side. It uses the plain definition. The plain meaning of the words.
- pc86 5y agoMy point is that by the plain meaning of words you're right, disparate impact means any two groups impacted differently, regardless of anything else. In law, it means that an employment, housing, etc. policy has a disproportionately adverse impact on members of a protected class compared to non-members of that same class. It's much more specific and narrowly defined.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoThat is in fact not more narrow; Ferrotin's original claim that "everything has a disparate impact" is correct with "disparate impact" so defined.
- kelseyfrog 5y agoIf you ever intent to study law, become involved in a situation dealing with disparate impact, or are at the receiving end of disparate impact, knowing the legal definition may be helpful too. The DoJ spells[1] out the legal definition of disparate impact as so: ELEMENTS TO ESTABLISH ADVERSE DISPARATE IMPACT UNDER TITLE VI Identify the specific policy or practice at issue; see Section C.3.a. Establish adversity/harm; see Section C.3.b. Establish disparity; see Section C.3.c. Establish causation; see Section C.3.d. 1. https://www.justice.gov/crt/fcs/T6Manual7#D https://www.justice.gov/crt/fcs/T6Manual7#D
