There are exactly $10$ legally problematic areas on this application form. This assignment is worth

$100$ points total. Each complete row above is worth $10$ points each. Points awarded $(0-10)$ per

row are based on accuracy of the information you have provided in each column. Partial points

may be awarded for the row if only part of the answer is correct $($for example the problematic item

is noted, but why it is problematic and$/$or the appropriate replacement verbiage is inaccurate$).$

$*$If you borrow verbiage from the text or another source for any part of your responses above,

remember that you MUST use quotation marks and cite your source appropriately. Information

copied from another source will result in zero points for the entire answer.

$$Do you own a car?$$

This answer is excellent. It

addresses specifically why

the item is problematic

$($possible Title VII violation$)$

and provides appropriate

replacement verbiage. It is

also cited properly to the text

since the wording was taken

verbatim. The next example

is also perfectly fine as the

answer is in the student$$s

own words $($no citation

required$),$ and still addresses

the specifics of the possible

violation and appropriate

replacement verbiage.

$$Use of credit rating

questions tend to have

an adverse impact on

minority group

applicants and women

and has been found

unlawful in some cases.

Unless shown to be job$-$

related, questions on

car ownership $...$ may

violate Title VII$$

$$Do you have the use of a

required by the job$($Gatewood$,$

The question about

car ownership

This can violate Title

VII since it can have an

adverse impact on

those in a protected

class.

We can ask if they have access to

a reliable vehicle if it is job

related, meaning driving for the

job is required.
