Yes, it is a Pandora's box. There is no way they are going to be able to prove they had some measurable standard that was being applied equitably. They are dead meat in court because it will be child's play to prove this is being applied inequitably, particularly against women. That is sexual discrimination and won't be protected. It is a lawyer's wet dream.

There are a whole host of problems with what they have done. Yes, she violated the policy, but applying the policy in this case will unfairly discriminate against women. Do they normally terminate for a first offense? Did she try to work with them? They are toast.
