The Academy Ignored Its Legal Responsibility In The 'Slap' Fiasco

U.S. law says employers have a duty to protect employees.

Note: The Academy on 4/8/22 said: “During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short…” Will Smith, who had already resigned, was banned from attending the award show for 10 years.
