Multiple Choice
McFerrin was refused employment by Billiot, Inc., because he failed to achieve a high enough score on a valid, reliable skills test. Believing that he has been the victim of national origin discrimination, since no one of Scottish descent has ever achieved a satisfactory score, McFerrin sues under Title VII after exhausting his administrative remedies. He asks the court to require Billiot to adjust the scores of all Scottish-descent test-takers, upward, by ten points. Assuming McFerrin proves national origin discrimination, can the court grant the relief he seeks?
A) No, because the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it an unfair employment practice for an employer to adjust the scores of an employment-related test on the basis of a protected trait.
B) Yes, because the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires an employer to adjust the scores of an employment-related test on the basis of a protected trait, if the effect of the test is to exclude certain groups from a certain minimum level of employment.
C) No, because the Civil Rights Act of 1991 makes it an unfair employment practice for an employer to adjust the scores of an employment-related test on the basis of a protected trait.
D) Yes, because the Civil Rights Act of 1991 requires an employer to adjust the scores of an employment-related test on the basis of a protected trait, if the effect of the test is to exclude certain groups from a certain minimum level of employment.
