Cornell Analysis Finds Confusion in Recent Supreme Court Employment Decisions

Two recent holdings by the U.S. Supreme Court have been hailed as "victories" for employees seeking personal accommodations under civil rights law. However, a new analysis from the Cornell Institute for Hospitality Labor and Employment Relations (CIHLER) finds little real change—along with considerable confusion—regarding the Court's actual holding. The analysis, "The United States Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Employees in the Young and Abercrombie Cases: What Do They Really Hold?," is written by David Sherwyn and David B. Ritter. Sherwyn is the John and Melissa Ceriale Professor of Hospitality Human Resources, professor of law at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, and CIHLER director. Ritter is a partner in the Chicago office of Barnes & Thornburg. Published in association with the Center for Hospitality Research, Sherwyn and Ritter's analysis is available at no charge.

Most Restaurant Chains Receive Failing Grades When it Comes to Corporate Board Gender Diversity

According to a recent study by Harvard Business Review, females are one of the most powerful economic forces in the world. In the United States, women make up more than 50% of the population and account for over 80% of consumer spend. If this is the case, why do so few females occupy seats in the corporate boardroom?In our 2015 AETHOS Consulting Group Corporate Governance Study of the chain restaurant industry, we identified an astoundingly low number of women executives serving as corporate board members. Of the top 45 public U.S. chain restaurant companies, a woeful 18% of board seats were occupied by women.
