mgmt 390 business law case study employment law
Hello,
Here are the instructions for this assignment:
Note: The professor has stressed in the past to include an introduction and conclusion on the case study. Thanks
It might take a page and a half instead of one page.
Sally calls you sounding pretty upset. You ask her what happened,
“Did you lose a ‘soufflé’ today or something?” Not laughing, she starts
to tell you she read that a disabled person was discriminated against by
a franchise business because the official website does not have an
accessibility policy. The disabled person sued and won. You state, “I
guess that’s possible, accessibility is grounds under the ADA. But how
in the world could a webpage not be accessible to the disabled? Or, how
would it be accessible. How does that happen?” Sally replies, “I forgot
one thing; the person suing was blind!” “It still doesn’t make sense to
me,” you state.
You and Sally will need to look into this because your new business will have a webpage. You need to get ahead of this. See if you can find the case and break it down to make sure your website is compliant with the American with Disabilities Act.
