Answer:

The EEOC would not be able to do anything because the school is a Catholic religious institution and that falls under Title VII. With that being said the school cant be touched because its simply enforcing its religious beliefs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under Title VII, religious organizations are exempt when performing their religious activities. There is no basis for her claim and the EEOC will find no reasonable cause for her complaint.
