How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that the word “hostile” does not inherently “reflect an outmoded sexual stereotype”
  • finding a single “highly ambiguous remark,” coupled with the “weakness of [plaintiff’s] prima facie case,” cut against any reasonable factfinder finding gender discrimination
  • “In order to give determinative effect to the elimination of the position, one necessarily must conclude that the organizational change was made for bona fide, non-discriminatory reasons.”
