The US Supreme Court on June 25, 1993, handed down its decision in St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks. The case involved a claim of intentional employment discrimination by an employee who alleged he was fired because of race. This bulletin provides a brief background on intentional discrimination (also known as disparate treatment) claims under Title VII, summarizes the Court's opinion, and discusses some of the possible implications of the Court's ruling.
