Supreme Court of the United States

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Petitioner v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc.

June 1, 2015135 S. Ct. 2028

The Court held that under Title VII, an applicant need only show that need for an accommodation was a motivating factor in the employer's decision, not that the employer had actual knowledge of the need. Thomas dissenting in part, argued that applying a neutral policy does not constitute intentional discrimination.
