Laura applies for the job of a firefighter. She is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. Laura is denied the position because she does not meet the height and weight requirements. The fire department’s height and weight requirements are:
A) discriminatory if it can be shown that the requirements are not directly correlated to ability to do the job.
B) not discriminatory because firefighters have mostly been tall.
C) not discriminatory because Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not cover jobs such as guards, police officers, and firefighters.
D) discriminatory if it can be shown that height and weight requirements are a business necessity.
