Question

Sara believes that she was rejected for a position at Trek n' Travel Agency on the basis of her race. Sara files a suit against Trek n' Travel under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. To establish a prima facie case of employment discrimination, Sara must show all of the following except thata. she is a member of a protected class.b. she applied and was qualified for the job in question.c. she was rejected for a position by Trek n' Travel.d. other persons of her race hold similar positions with other similar employers.

Answer 1

Answer:

(d). other persons of her race hold similar positions with other similar employers.

Explanation:

Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a prima facie case of discrimination is only concerned with the plaintiff (employee) case of discrimination against their employer alone.

Therefore, Sara's proof of evidence would EXCLUDE other similar employees dealings with persons of her race who hold similar positions

However it may be included as proof in court if after her rejection, "her employer" (Trek n' Travel Agency) accepted applicants with the same qualifications.
