Question

Dakota believes that Credit Services Corporation (CSC) has discriminated against her on the basis of gender. She files a suit against CSC under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. To establish a prima facie case of employment discrimination, Dakota must show that:

Answer 1

she belongs to a protected class

Step-by-step explanation:

Dakota will need to provide evidence or proof sufficient enough to suggest that she met the job requirements and that she has been discriminated solely on the basis of gender. For this, she would need to provide evidence that she is a member of a protected class. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 states gender among the four employment protection classes. Therefore, the act supports her in the prima facie case of employment discrimination if she proves that she belongs to a protected class.
