Employment Discrimination, management homework help

A major University has advertised for a non-research
lecturer position in its Economics Department. When they evaluate the
applicants, one resume clearly stands out as excellently qualified. When the
applicant came in for an interview, she is asked to complete a questionnaire
with a number of open ended questions prior to the actual interview. The
questionnaire was extremely well answered and evidenced perfect grammar,
perfect penmanship and perfect spelling. The answers were lucid and well
thought out. Unfortunately, during the interview most in the department had
trouble understanding the candidate due to her extremely heavy Nigerian accent.
If the university hires someone else, has the university violated any
discrimination laws?
