Adverse impact | Refers to employment practices that may appear to be neutral but have a discriminatory effect on a protected group.
I was not able to find this term in the reading of Chapter 3. I am glad I thought to look in the glossary, as had I used what I found on the internet, I would have been talking about "unintended consequences of a medical treatment..." I will be using the glossary more often, from here on out, in this class.
