In Groff v. DeJoy, the Supreme Court revisited its longstanding interpretation of Title VII's requirement that employers "reasonably accommodate" the religious practices of their employees unless doing so would impose an "undue hardship" on the conduct of the employer's business. This program will, among other things, explore (1) some of the advocacy that helped lead to Groff, (2) critiques and defenses of the Court's pre-Groff jurisprudence, (3) hopes and concerns about the future impact of Groff in the employment setting, and (4) lessons that the debate over Title VII's accommodation requirement might have for other religious exemption regimes.
