Playing the hiring game: the ethics of offers and acceptances
Article Abstract:
Several questions are asked concerning hiring and the ethics of offers and acceptance. This includes what happens when an employer revokes a job offer after a candidate accepts it. Different states possess their own laws concerning 'employment-at-will,' revocation of job offers and wrongful discharge. Judges in some states say that revoking the agreement before the first day of work would bring no legal harm to either party. However, some courts have allowed employees to recoup moving or relocation expenses from employers upon finding evidence that an employer misrepresented a job opportunity.

U.S. Supreme Court decision clarifies sexual harassment issues for employers, colleges
Article Abstract:
Supreme Court decisions have defined the scope and degree of liabilities assigned to school officials, college placement officers and employers in sexual harassment cases. Sexual harassment may come in two forms, the quid pro quo and the hostile environment. In both situations, the liability of employers depended on their knowledge of the incident and the position of the person committing the crime. In schools, officials may be charged depending on their response to student complaints of harassment. Thus, clear policies must be established to prevent sexual harassment incidents.

...On preferencing minorities
Article Abstract:
The College Placement Council's general counsel feels that employers could introduce minority programs in workplaces for hiring, layoffs or promotions and in schools and colleges for scholarships and admissions. She justifies her statement that state employers or state schools could follow minority internship as a remedy to past discrimination or as a program to promote diversity by referring to two court cases. The employers and the schools should review their minority internship and co-operative education programs by referring to individual organizations.
