How courts have described this case

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

• stating that even “if [the plaintiff’s] evidence showed pretext, that alone would not be sufficient to survive sum‐ mary judgment” without some evidence pointing to a prohib‐ ited animus as the cause for the decision
• observing that such types of evidence may be combined to present a “convincing mosaic of circumstantial evidence from which a factfinder can make a reasonable inference of discriminatory intent” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)
• “a party establishes pretext with evidence that the employer’s stated reason or the employment decision was a lie—not just an error, oddity, or oversight”
• “When analyzing claims of discrimination under the [IHRA], Illinois courts have looked to the standards applicable to analogous federal claims.”
• circumstantial evidence includes evidence that the employer offered a pretextual reason for an adverse employment action
• “amorphous litany of complaints about a myriad of workplace decisions” does not point to discriminatory intent, whether individually or collectively
