1. Bubba, a man, works for the Atlanta School District as an assistant superintendent. Jenny has just been hired as the new superintendent and is Bubba's boss. She decides a new culture is needed and "cleans house" by firing 3 of the 5 assistant superintendents. All of the assistants fired were men, and both assistants kept were women. Additionally, all of the new assistants hired were women. Bubba believes he was discriminated against because he was a man and wants to file a lawsuit for reverse discrimination. His lawsuit is likely to:

Succeed, unless Jenny can show a non-discriminatory reason for firing him.

Fail; because he is not a member of a protected class

Fail; because he belongs to a majority group.

Succeed, but only if he can show a specific intent to discriminate against men

2. Cupcake Kings buys a truck from Street Vehicles, Inc., under a contract signed by Joe, Cupcake Kings' president. Joe also signs in another spot on the contract that makes him personally liable if Cupcake Kings does not pay the loan. Joe is:

a co-creditor.

a co-surety.

a guarantor.

a surety.

3. Dakota is an independent contractor who currently has a contract with Big Oil and Gas Company. Her contract requires her to work long hours at oil fields in north Texas. When Dakota became pregnant she had a hard time completing all of the tasks she had to do for her contract. Although she asked for an accomodation, Big Oil and Gas ended their contract with Dakota and gave the contract to a man to replace her. If Dakota were to file a gender discrimination lawsuit the case would most likely:

Succeed; pregnancy is protected under the ADA

Succeed; pregnancy is protected under Title VII

Fail; her performance declined so they didn't really fire her for being pregnant

Fail; independent contractors are not protected under Title VII or the ADA
