After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in business administration, Emily, sent an email, with a resume attached, to the Encyclopedic Marketing Company. In the email she expressed an interest in being considered for an entry level position in Encyclopedic's management training program. When she found out that Encyclopedic had hired two of her classmates who were not of her race, Emily filed a complaint of discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
