Matt works for a magazine publisher and edits many of the headline stories. His supervisor, Susan, is much older than him. She asks for his personal cell phone number in case there is an exclusive story he may be able to get in on. Matt starts getting calls late at night from Susan wanting answers to simple editing questions. Eventually, it moves to lengthier more personal conversations. Susan tells Matt there is a promotion coming up for a photographer and she is considering him for the job. As part of an interview, he will be required to come to Susan’s home and photograph her as part of a portfolio. Matt is not comfortable about this and asks to photograph someone else. Susan gives the job to another employee. What is this an example of?
  1. Gender Discrimination
  2. Age Discrimination
  3. Sexual Discrimination
  4. Racial Discrimination
Explanation
Answer - C - Sexual discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

When submission to or rejection of this conduct affects an individual’s employment, it becomes discrimination.
