“[discrimination can be shown under either of two theories, disparate im pact theory or disparate treatment theory. “A disparate impact violation is made out when an employer is shown to have used a specific employment practice, neutral on its face but causing a substantial adverse impact on a protected group and which cannot be justified as serving a legitimate business goal of the employer.” Equal Employment Opportunity Comm’n v. Metal Serv. Co., 892 F.2d 341, 346 (3d Cir. 1990). Under a disparate impact analysis, a plaintiff need not show intentional discrimination in order to prevail. Id. at 346-47 . In contrast to a disparate impact violation, a disparate treatment violation “is made out when an individual of a protected group is shown to have been singled out and treated less favorably than others similarly-situated on the basis of an impermissible criterion.” Id. at 347 . To proceed under a disparate treatment theory, plaintiff must prove that the employer had a discriminatory motive. Id.”
