Case: Disability Discrimination/Discharge (D. Md.)

A Maryland federal district court denied Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s motion for summary judgment on a female curriculum development specialist’s disability discrimination claim under the Rehabilitation Act, finding sufficient evidence that the employer’s performance-related justifications for terminating the specialist with type 1 diabetes might be pretext for discrimination, while granting summary judgment on her sexual harassment claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act due to lack of evidence that comments about her demeanor were unwanted sexual harassment.
