Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits discrimination against employees who are age 40 or older. Lisa, who is 54, falls under the protection of this act and can bring suit against M and N Services for age discrimination. The Rehabilitation Act applies to individuals with disabilities, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin, and the ADA of 1990 applies to individuals with disabilities as well. None of these acts apply to Lisa's situation.
