<div>1)</div><div>Date: 08 Mar 2012</div><div>From:<span>Uri Horesh <<a href="mailto:urihoresh@gmail.com" target="_blank">urihoresh@gmail.com</a>></span></div><div>Subject:Citizenship requirement in job ads</div><div>
<br></div>
<div><span>Dear Colleagues,</span><br><br><span>Several job ads on the list recently have included stipulations such as "[employees] MUST be U.S. Citizens."</span><br><br><span>I would like to direct your attention to the United States Department of Justice Best Practices for Online Job Postings: </span><a href="http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc/htm/best_practices.php" target="_blank">http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc/htm/best_practices.php</a><br>

<br><span>In particular, allow me to quote the following passage:</span><br><br><span>> Do avoid making the assumption that only U.S. citizens are authorized to work in the United States.</span><br>
<span>></span><br><span>> Do avoid the following language in job postings:</span><br><span>></span><br><span>>       • "Only U.S. Citizens"</span><br><span>>       • "Citizenship requirement"*</span><br>

<span>>       • "Only U.S. Citizens or Green Card Holders"</span><br><span>>       • "H-1Bs Only"</span><br><span>>       • "Must have a U.S. Passport"</span><br>
<span>>       • "Must have a green card"</span><br><span>> *UNLESS U.S. citizenship is required by law, regulation, executive order, or government contract.</span><br><br><span>Given the DOJ policy stated above, unless U.S. citizenship is required by law, regulation, executive order, or government contract, the stipulations in ads of this sort are not only unfair and discriminatory, but may also be unlawful.</span><br>

<br><span>Sincerely,</span><br><br><span>--</span><br><span>Uri Horesh</span><br><span>Philadelphia, PA</span><br><a href="mailto:urihoresh@gmail.com" target="_blank">urihoresh@gmail.com</a><br>
