- W2272999641 abstract "Cat's paw discrimination occurs when a supervisor with discriminatory animus reports falsely to a personnel committee that an employee is performing poorly, inducing the committee to fire the employee. The Fourth Circuit has held that the fired employee has no cause of action for discrimination; the errant committee, the Fourth Circuit reasons, fired the employee because of the misinformation supplied by the supervisor and not because of the committee's discriminatory animus. The Seventh Circuit, relying on agency principles, has rejected this approach. Analogizing the situation to an Aseop's Fable in which a monkey induced a cat to commit a crime for him, the Seventh Circuit has held that cat's paw discrimination should not shield an employer from liability. This article agrees with the Seventh Circuit's conclusion that the employer should be held liable. Unfortunately, however, the Seventh Circuit's mis-application of agency principles may result in cat's paw liability not attaching when the person reporting to a personnel committee is not a supervisor, but is instead a co-worker or a non-employee such as an independent contractor or a customer. This article urges courts to adopt a standard by which an employer would be liable whenever a biased report to a personnel committee or other ultimate decision maker has a substantial influence on a decision to take an adverse employment action against an employee." @default.
