Disparate Impact, Redux & (With Luck) Finis – I think Garrett Moritz has written the last chapter, at least for now, of our ongoing discussion of disparate impact.
I would like to thank him, again, for his generous comments, and urge you take a look at his post. Although I might not have summarized the nub of our differences the same way he has, his summary is both fair and succinct. These are difficult issues; reasonable people can disagree; and I would like to think there is enough substance in our backs and forths on the subject to assist others in clarifying their own thoughts on the matter.
