How courts have described this case

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

• holding that fact-finding was deficient when premised on “an unprincipled conception of ‘similarity’ and ‘comparability,’ a structural flaw”
• concluding that no similarly situated employees had been identified and finding no evidence to support a conclusion of an intent to discriminate
• recognizing parallel right under Title VII, but reversing for clearly erroneous finding of comparable seriousness
• noting that plaintiff may use pattern of discrimination to meet burden
• modifying the McDonnell Douglas prima facie framework for a discriminatory discipline case
• “The most important variables in the disciplinary context, and the most likely sources of different but nondiscriminatory treatment, are the nature of the offenses committed and the nature of the punishments imposed.”
