PASSAGE
A state civil-service statute provides that every honorably discharged veteran who passes the qualifying examination is automatically placed at the top of the hiring list for all state jobs, ahead of all non-veterans. The legislature enacted the statute to assist veterans returning from overseas service; nothing in the legislative history refers to gender. Because men have historically made up the overwhelming majority of veterans, roughly 40 percent of male applicants benefit from the preference but fewer than 10 percent of female applicants do. A woman who passed the examination and was passed over for a position awarded to a veteran sued, claiming that the preference discriminates against women.
Under the Equal Protection Clause, what standard of review applies, and what is the likely result?
