Case: Disability Discrimination/Disparate Treatment (E.D. Pa.)

Temple University is granted summary judgment on the Americans with Disabilities Act disparate treatment and retaliation claims of an assistant professor suffering from myasthenia gravis who was denied tenure, because he can’t prove that final decisionmakers—including the president and board of trustees—relied on a senior associate dean’s misrepresentation of the assistant professor’s disability, and he was denied tenure before his discrimination complaint, a Pennsylvania federal court ruled.
