O'Boyle et al. v. Louisiana Tech: Is the Party over for Traditional Pay Practices in Business Schools?

Abstract

The language in the Civil Rights Act of 1991 relating to "alternative selection practices equally effective in achieving legitimate employment goals" may require business schools to alter their traditional compensation practices. More specifically, the practice of paying newer faculty members more than faculty members currently on staff may be unlawful age discrimination. A suit filed in Louisiana, O'Boyle et al. v. Louisiana Tech, may help clarify the related issues.
