This case examines the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) exception in discrimination cases. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

In this case, the BFOQ is defined, the criteria for a BFOQ are listed, and the limits to BFOQ are discussed. Several real examples are given of cases in which a company has alleged a BFOQ exists. Students are asked to examine each example, and de...
