The EEOC does not establish precedent, it is a federal agency, not a court, so correct-it is not "prcedent" setting. But it is still relevant and worth caution, care and consideration when assessing potential hires based on 'literacy'. Non-Compliance is costly.
And with that, I conclude my alliterative TED Talk on best practices and compliance in hiring.
Literacy skill itself is not, but be VERY careful with that. Learning disabilities are still disabilities, and those 100% are protected.
