Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jess is facing systemic or structural discrimination because the building infrastructure is not accessible to her as a person with a disability, which is a broader issue affecting her ability to participate in large team meetings held in the main conference room. This is not a case of bullying or harassment, which involve intentional harm or mistreatment towards individuals. It is also not a case of indirect discrimination, which refers to policies or practices that appear neutral but have an unequal impact on certain groups.
