LinkedIn under fire for 'Diversity in Recruiting' feature: 'Manipulated pool of candidates'
Fox News
LinkedIn is under fire for their "Diversity in Recruitment" feature. The Equal Protection Project alleges that the feature discriminates against potential job candidates.
The call for change comes following last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision to dismantle affirmative action practices in college admissions "LinkedIn asking candidates to consent to a discriminatory system does not excuse the discriminatory system." "Discrimination by algorithm is still discrimination." Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a writer on the breaking news team for Fox News Digital. You can reach her on Twitter at @s_rumpfwhitten.
"The Supreme Court recently held that universities may 'never use race as a stereotype or negative' and a 'student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual—not on the basis of race," Bill Jacobson, president of the EPP, told Fox News Digital.
