Question

Eagle Equipment Corporation discharges Jay, who then sues Eagle for employment discrimination under Title VII. Eagle learns that Jay lied on his job application and argues that, had Eagle known of the lie, it would have fired him. This is
a. an affirmative action defense.
b. a bona fide occupational qualification defense.
c. a business necessity defense.
d. After acquired evidence and not a defense.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Title VII of the 1964, Civil Rights Act, states the federal law and it prohibits the employers from discriminating the employees on the grounds of color, sex, religion, race and national origin.

So, in this case, Jay sues the corporation against this title, but the corporation learns that Jay lied on his job application and on this ground the corporation would fired him. This is done after acquiring the evidence and it is not a defense.
