Question presented
Whether the prima facie case and comparator analysis set forth in this Court’s decision in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973) and its progeny remains the correct legal test in proving employment discrimination based on circumstantial evidence or may a court disregard McDonnell Douglas’ prima facie case and comparator standard and travel under the less-rigorous “convincing mosaic” theory to prove discrimination based on circumstantial evidence.
