Question 14 (10 points) Gabriel, who is blind, applied for one of a number of job openings as telemarketers with Ford Motor Company ("Ford"). Gabriel was qualified for the job. Gabriel was denied the job because the interviewer thought Gabriel would have difficulty with job due to his inability to see a computer screen even though Ford could easily (without undue hardship) install text-to-voice software on Gabriel's computer (which would convert the text on the screen into spoken words) which would permit Gabriel to perform the job's duties (its essential functions). Other applicants for the telemarketer positions who were no more qualified than Gabriel were hired. Has Ford violated Gabriel's rights? Yes No
