7. Melanie is the president and major shareholder of Macklin Bridge, Inc. She has been asked to stand for election as a director of National Concrete, Inc., a manufacturer of concrete products. Macklin is one of several customers to whom National sells concrete. What should Melanie be concerned about if she becomes a director of National?

8. Diane Rawlinson, a rejected female applicant for employment as a prison guard in the Alabama prison system, challenged certain state rules restricting her employment prospects under Title VII. They were: (1) requirements that all prison employees be at least 5 feet 2 inches tall and weigh at least 120 pounds; and, (2) a rule expressly prohibiting women from assuming close-contact prison guard positions in maximum security prisons (most of which were all male). What method of proving a Title VII case should Rawlinson use in attacking the height and weight requirements? What method should she use to attack the second rule? What argument should the state use if Rawlinson establishes a prima facie case against the height and weight requirements? What Title VII defense might the state have for the second rule? (With regard to the second rule, assume that the Alabama maximum security prisons housed their male prisoners dormitory-style, rather than in cells, and that they did not separate sex offenders from other prisoners).
