Question 2

To accomplish its goal, the County hired a qualified woman instead of a man who had scored higher on a valid aptitude test. The man sued arguing the program was discriminatory. The Supreme Court held that this action was:

  b. legal if the county could demonstrate that the woman was better qualified than the man c. legal only if the county adopted a program with specific clearly specified quotas
