What term refers to the rejection of a higher percentage of a protected class for employment?

Reverse discrimination
Disparate treatment
Adverse impact
Hostile work environment

The correct answer is: Adverse impact

Adverse impact refers to the rejection of a higher percentage of a protected class for employment. Reverse discrimination is incorrect because it is the act of giving preferential treatment to one group over another. Disparate treatment is incorrect because it refers to intentional discrimination against a protected class. Hostile work environment is incorrect because it refers to a workplace that is hostile or discriminatory towards an employee or group of employees. Therefore, the term that specifically relates to the question is adverse impact, as it refers to unintentional discrimination in hiring practices.
