Case: Disability Discrimination/Retaliation (E.D. Pa.)

A Pennsylvania federal district court partially denied Widener University’s motion for judgment on the pleadings against a White male dean with a disability requiring medical procedures, allowing his retaliation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, disability discrimination claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Family and Medical Leave Act claims to proceed, finding the plaintiff sufficiently alleged protected activity and decision-maker hostility for retaliation claims, plausibly claimed the decision-maker knew of his disability, and noting the defendant’s FMLA arguments were procedurally forfeited.
