Syllabus

Magistrate's decision; employment discrimination; retaliation; Title VII; R.C. Chapter 4112. Plaintiffs failed to prove a prima facie case of employment discrimination that employer, on the basis of race or national origin, did not renew plaintiffs' faculty appointments with employer. Plaintiffs failed to establish that non-renewal of their faculty appointments was the but-for cause of the adverse employment action because plaintiffs filed their grievances alleging discrimination and retaliation after employer informed plaintiffs it was not renewing their faculty appointments due to their failure to obtain grant funding. Magistrate recommended judgment in favor of defendant.
