When is the student loan forgiveness decision coming down? Saving it for Friday?
That is a massive win.
Opinions on Thursday and then likely Friday (but Friday hasn’t been announced yet). I think there’s 7 left.When is the student loan forgiveness decision coming down? Saving it for Friday?
Any case that will lead to MORE religious accommodations is not a good decision. Yes, let's everyone else work around you - require atheist Bob to work OT -- to accommodate your fantasy. More of that, please.Court holds that showing “more than a de minimis cost,” does not suffice to establish “undue hardship” under Title VII, but rather “undue hardship” is shown when a burden is substantial in the overall context of an employer’s business. At first blush, this seems like a good decision.
It's the correct decision and if we could know that it would be followed and applied in a vacuum, it's great for worker rights. But I think we all know that in practical application, it's going to benefit one religion over others and that there likely will be an influx of litigation based on this new elevated bar for what accommodations are required.Court holds that showing “more than a de minimis cost,” does not suffice to establish “undue hardship” under Title VII, but rather “undue hardship” is shown when a burden is substantial in the overall context of an employer’s business.

Yeah, I guess correct is really what I meant by good. And definitely agree with the rest of your post.It's the correct decision and if we could know that it would be followed and applied in a vacuum, it's great for worker rights.

Yeah as we see with most instances when religion comes into play in practice, Christianity is more equal than all the othersIt's the correct decision and if we could know that it would be followed and applied in a vacuum, it's great for worker rights.

It's not great for worker's rights when other workers are forced to work more or work OT to cover for somebody's mythology.It's the correct decision and if we could know that it would be followed and applied in a vacuum, it's great for worker rights.

That's what I was getting at with the second part of my post. On it's face, though, a rule requiring legitimate accommodation attempts so long as it is not an excessive burden on an employer is better for the employee. It is just going to get abused because we are a pseudo-theocracy when it comes to shit like this.It's not great for worker's rights when other workers are forced to work more or work OT to cover for somebody's mythology.

Maybe this was an unspoken intention, especially in being able to admit more international students who will pay full freight. The research is pretty clear though that HS grades are a much better predictor of college achievement than standardized tests which are racially and economically biased.I know she wasn't here for it but didn't we do away with the SAT requirement just so we could get more rich kids in?
