Q1
A university examined discrimination in its lab hiring. In a field experiment, faculty received identical email inquiries about open research assistant positions; the only variation was the applicant’s name, stereotypically associated with Group A or Group B. Separately, the university reviewed a departmental rule requiring “prior unpaid lab experience” for all applicants. The report invoked conflict theory, noting that gatekeeping rules can preserve advantages for groups with more resources. Which example best illustrates institutional discrimination as described in the report?
