Why would you want to work for a company that you KNOW discriminates?

She should talk to Career Services. They can evaluate the two interships (since they go through that office) and deal with the company. If the two have the exact same qualifications and experience the internship director can then correct the "mixup" on pay. Career Services can help her get a different internship at a different comapny as well if the discriminator won't rectify the situation. Her reputation will be fine if the university does the negotiating with HR. Her supervisor won't be in it at all.
