Depends on the culture at your workplace: I would try to persuade HR that this was not a racist incident. [b]I would also remove student 3 from any hiring consideration, and not give them a good reference (diplomatically, of course). We need fewer idiots in the workplace.[/b]

Please do not give advice, ever. You just encouraged OP to retaliate against student 3 for making a discrimination claim. This is a clear violation of antidiscrimination laws. Someone making a discrimination claim, regardless of whether the claim is well founded, is protected against retaliation for making the claim. This is really basic shit. [/quote]

No. Most people do this in such a way that there is absolutely no reason to suspect discrimination, PP. Managers and team leads are expected to support good employees and prevent the elevation of poor employees. Student 3 is young and made a mistake. This is entirely forgivable, but the senior manager shouldn't go out of their way to help out that student either, unless they made such excellent contributions that the good outweighs the bad!

[youtube]And you need to stop being ridiculous[/youtube]. We should not enable petty, frivolous complaints like the one made by Student 3. There's enough stress in the workplace already. You're saying, anytime someone makes a complaint, everyone should fall over themselves to not give the appearance of retaliation? Snort.

STOP GIVING ADVICE. Do you really not understand that giving a negative reference or not hiring someone because they made a discrimination complaint is textbook retaliation. Go talk to your company's employment lawyers and they'll set you straight. [/quote]

Who said anything about a negative reference? Have you ever written a reference? You understand there are ways to get your point across? Or ways to avoid giving a reference altogether? And yes, last time I checked, companies and agencies can hire who they want, based on entirely objective information backed by evidence.

You're coming across as rigid and inflexible.[/quote]
