“Once the plaintiff has established his prima facie case, the burden of production and persuasion shifts *802to the defendant. ‘[T]he defendant may avoid a finding of liability only by proving by a preponderance of the evidence that it would have made the same decision even if it had not taken [the impermissible factor] into account.’ Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, supra, 490 U.S. 258; Mt. Healthy City Board of Educations. Doyle, supra, 429 U.S. 274; see In re McCort, 161 Vt. 481, 490-91, 650 A.2d 504 (1994) (adopting under its own antidiscrimination statute the burden shifting form of analysis for mixed-motive cases).” (Emphasis added.)
