Case: Discrimination/Hiring (N.D. Ill.)

An Illinois federal district court granted Northwestern University’s motion to dismiss claims under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act brought by an organization representing heterosexual, cisgender White male law professors alleging discrimination in faculty hiring, finding the organization lacked associational standing for most claims and failed to plausibly allege either that federal funding had employment as its primary objective or that any specific adverse employment actions were taken against its members.
