Case: Discrimination/Race Discrimination (E.D. Pa.)

A Pennsylvania federal district court granted summary judgment to Temple University and individuals on race discrimination and retaliation claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and § 1983 brought by a Black former detective sergeant, finding that Temple as a state actor couldn’t be liable without evidence of a discriminatory policy or custom, a lieutenant wasn’t the sergeant’s supervisor, and there wasn’t evidence of an adverse employment action based on race or retaliation for protected activity.
