6) Harvey graduated from Superior University, where he had the best four years of his life and obtained a top-notch college education. When he started his own law firm, he decided that, as a way to support his school, he would only interview and hire applicants who graduated from the school he attended. Could this decision materialize into a discriminationclaim under Title VII? Explain your answer.
