Marble Industries hired virtually all of its employees from Union High School, which
was overwhelmingly white in its racial makeup. Accordingly, there were virtually no
nonwhite employees employed by Marble Industries. The work these employees
performed was work that any reasonably capable high school graduate could do. When
organizations representing nonwhites questioned the policy, the personnel director
indicated that Union High School graduates were hired because they had worked
successfully for the company and because the president of the company had graduated
from that school. There was no evidence that there was any plan or intention to
discriminate against nonwhites. Discuss the possibility that this policy may violate Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act.

The Jarvis family owned its land for more than 150 years. The Jarvis family
traditionally farmed the land and for that purpose maintained farm animals. As years
passed, most of the surrounding farms were sold by the owners and the area turned out
to be a close-in suburb of a major city. A zoning ordinance was passed that prohibited
maintaining a barn or farmyard animals on the land. The Jarvis family was advised that
they were unaffected by this ordinance because theirs would be considered a
nonconforming use. The members of the Jarvis family lost interest in farming and sold
off all their animals. Seven (7) years later, a family member desired to raise a few pigs
on the property. Angry neighbors asserted that the family has lost the right to do so.
