Question presented

Whether a Title VII disparate treatment claim may be defeated at the prima facie stage by treating comparator evidence as an inflexible prerequisite under McDonnell Douglas . 3. Whether, after Muldrow v. City of St. Louis , a forced transfer is nonactionable whenever pay and benefits remain unchanged. 4.
