In 1961, NASA began admitting women into its astronaut training program. They performed well in the training, but none of them ever served as astronauts because NASA changed its rules to require jet fighter experience for astronauts. Since women were not eligible to fly jet fighters, they could not qualify for space duty. Would these women have claims under Title VII

Respuesta :

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

Title V11 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 among other things, forbids employers from discrimination on the grounds of "Sex". In this case the women in the NASA programme performed well in training but are ineligible to fly fighter jet. This is no fault of theirs as given the chance they probably would excel in it also. Changing the rule to reflect the ability to fly fighter jet seemed like a deliberate attempt to limit their opportunities to serve as astronauts.
