MARTINEZ** W. PAUL MCKINNEY*** I. INTRODUCTION The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)1 prohibits discrimination in employment,2 public services,3 and public accommodations4 against individuals with disabilities.5 The threshold question, however, of who is an individual with a disability has proven to be more complicated, contentious, and confusing than any of the ADA’s drafters ever could have imagined. The law does not prohibit all discrimination based on disability, and it does not prohibit discrimination against all individuals with disabilities.

  • Marrying Polygamy Into Title Vii
    MARRYING POLYGAMY INTO TITLE VII ∗ Hope Marie Deutsch Polygamy, a word of Greek origin, the literal translation of which is “often married,” 1 is a hotly contested practice often subject to misinterpretation.2 Polygamy (sometimes called “plural marriage”)3 is the marriage or union of multiple partners, which can manifest as one husband with multiple wives or one wife with multiple husbands. 4 In modern day society, polygamy almost exclusively takes the form of polygyny, the practice of one husband with multiple wives, as opposed to polyandry, the practice of one wife with many husbands. 5 The generation-spanning taboo associated with plural marriage has kept polygamy out of sight and out of mind until recently, when the influx of high profile lawsuits challenging anti-polygamy laws 6 and television shows such as Big Love7 ever so delicately reminded us of the age old practice that we all know we oppose, but are just not sure why. Polygamy is distinguishable from polyamory insofar as polygamous partners participate in either legal or spiritual marriages while polyamorous partners partake in a variety of relationship styles such as dating or commitment to exclusivity but do not have the ideal or goal of marriage.8 More specifically, polyamory denotes a relationship of love which is grounded in the * Associate Editor of Research and Writing, Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion; J.D.

    January 26, 2021 Cathy Russell Director, Office of Presidential Personnel Gautam Raghavan Deputy Director, Office of Presidential Personnel Dear Ms. Russell and Mr. Raghavan: The co-chairs of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) Rights Task Force urge the Biden Administration to appoint the following four individuals to the seats for public members of the AbilityOne Commission: Chai Feldblum, Karla Gilbride, Bryan Bashin, and Christina Brandt. CCD is the largest coalition of national organizations working together to advocate for federal public policy that ensures the self-determination, independence, empowerment, integration and inclusion of children and adults with disabilities in all aspects of society. The AbilityOne Program, created by the Javitz Wagner O’Day Act, authorizes the federal government to purchase products and services from organizations that employ individuals with significant disabilities. As the program serves more than 46,000 people with disabilities and accounts for $4 billion in federal contracts, how it operates is of great importance to the disability community. In particular, the composition of the committee that operates the program—the Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, known as the AbilityOne Commission—is of concern because that committee will have to grapple with the issues about the program’s structure raised by the 2016 report of the Advisory Committee on Increasing Competitive Integrated Employment for People with Disabilities.
