Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MNTX's policy of requiring female professors to score higher than male professors to qualify for a pay bonus is an example of disparate treatment, which is a form of discrimination. This is because the policy treats the two groups differently based on their sex. While it is not explicitly stated that women are being treated unfairly, the policy creates an unfair advantage for men and reinforces gender stereotypes. Therefore, MNTX is liable for disparate treatment of women.
