Adjoa, a Ghanaian citizen with a master's degree in library science from the University of Ghana, applies for the post of a reference librarian at Rex State University in the United States. She is a permanent resident of the United States with authorization to work there and has eight years of experience as a chief librarian at a reputed university in South Africa. Theresa, an American citizen with a college degree in English and two years of experience as a library assistant, also applies for the same job. Although Adjoa seems more qualified for the job, the selecting officer hires Theresa based on a belief that Theresa will be a more stable employee because she is an American citizen. Which of the following holds true in this case? a. Adjoa has no basis for a complaint under any act because Theresa is academically qualified for the job.
b. Adjoa has a basis for a complaint only under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because the act provides protection against discrimination based on country of citizenship under all circumstances.
c. Adjoa has no basis for a complaint because the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) allows employers to discriminate in favor of U. S. citizens.
d. Adjoa has a basis for a complaint only under the Immigration Reform and Control Act because she was denied the job based on her citizenship.
