Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A seven-member CODI has a woman head but only three women in total. Is the head’s sex alone sufficient for the statutory composition rule?
  1. Yes; the head alone satisfies every proportion.
  2. Yes; three is always half of seven.
  3. No; women may never form a majority.
  4. No; three of seven is below the required half, so at least four women are needed.
  5. Only the employer’s preferred ratio matters.
