Case: Discrimination/Retaliation (S.D. Fla.)

A Florida federal district court denied the University of Miami’s motion to dismiss discrimination and retaliation claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the Florida Civil Rights Act brought by a female Latina surgeon who served as Department of Surgery Chair and Surgeon-in-Chief, finding she adequately alleged adverse employment actions with sufficient temporal proximity to her complaints of discrimination and safety issues, while dismissing her Equal Pay Act, Family Medical Leave Act, and breach of contract claims.
