Selecting among candidates for promotion can often be the most discriminatorily fraught of workplace decisions. Presumably the candidates are successful enough in their current positions that they are at least marginally qualified, and the unsuccessful candidates will likely remain in the workplace perhaps (but hopefully not) resentful of having been passed over. In these circumstances, an unsuccessful candidate may comb through her employment for an explanation for being bypassed other than "I wasn't the best candidate." Such seems to have been the case in the recent decision: Hunter v. Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, No. 20-2334, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 72706 (E.D. Pa. Apr. 15, 2021).
