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

  • holding that the denial of “better” equipment was not a “readily quantifiable loss” the discrimination laws were meant to redress
  • noting that adverse employment actions are generally economic but not reaching issue of whether university employee had suffered adverse employment action
  • finding supervisors’ statements made “nearly two months” before employee’s termination were not contemporaneous to the termina- tion and thus were not evidence of discrimination
  • no evidence that supervisor’s “abusive” and “rude” treatment of plaintiff was motivated by her race or gender
  • denial of “better” equipment not actionable
