Question 123

Multiple Choice

Shania Tipton is an assistant professor at Wakeham College.  Much of her tenure and promotion decision is based on her research productivity.  During her five-year tenure track, Shania was ​assigned a teaching load of two classes per semester and she was given four new course preparations during those five years.  Her male colleagues, who were on the same five-year tract with her, were given reduced teaching loads of one class per semester and taught the same course during the five-year period.  As a result, Shania's research output was much less than those of her male colleagues.  Her tenure and promotion were now in jeopardy.  Which of the following statements is correct?


A) Shania is a victim of disparate treatment.
B) The EEOC provisions do not apply to professional jobs such as a tenure track position at a university.
C) Unless the policies on teaching loads were established differently for men and women, Shania has no case.
