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.

Sue is an employee at an ABC store. One of Sue's duties is to prepare the bank deposit
at the end of the business day. Sue had a very busy day and made a few mistakes. All of
the checks, except two, were indorsed with the stamp "ABC, Inc." that ABC had
provided. The bank received the deposit and noticed the lack of indorsement on the two
checks. In addition, three of the checks that Sue was to include with the deposit were
lost in the parking lot after closing. Phil found the checks and deposited them into his
personal account. What is the effect of ABC's indorsement on the lost checks and the
lack of indorsement on the two deposited checks?
