Exercise 13

A black firefighter alleges that each time he is transferred from one fire station to another, he must take his bed with him, on orders of the fire chief. The chief defends on the basis that it is a legitimate decision because white firefighters would not want to sleep in the same bed in which a black firefighter slept. Is this illegal under Title VII? Explain. [Georgia newspaper article]
