Answer:

The local college has discriminated her on the basis of her gender.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender discrimination often takes place in the job environment, issues such as the pay gap, demonstrate that women and men are not always treated equally and this has nothing to do with their individual skills or capabilities, but with their gender. In this case, the woman that aspired to teach at a local college was told that she would not be as good of a scientists as a man.

These assumptions had nothing to do with the knowledge the woman actually has, they are based on gender stereotypes.
