Marian, a top graduate from Loyola in the Humanities, was hired by a major corporation into a management position. Marian finished the corporation's management training program at the top of her group and is performing above the norm in her position. She is really enjoying her work.

As a black woman, she feels isolated, as there are no other black women managers and few women in her area. One night at a company party, she heard a conversation between two of her male co$-$workers and their supervisor. They were complaining to him about Marian's lack of qualifications and her unpleasant personality. They cursed affirmative action regulations for making the hiring of Marian necessary.

Marian is very upset and wants to quit.
