A federal judge in Pennsylvania has quickly denied Duquesne University’s request that she reconsider allowing claims of retaliation and sex discrimination to proceed against new president Ken Gormley in a suit filed by a professor in the law school.
Professor Susan Hascall sued Gormley and Duquesne after she was denied tenure, and U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon of the Western District of Pennsylvania ruled last month that Hascall’s gender discrimination and retaliation claims against the university and Gormley, the former law school dean, could proceed. Duquesne said in a July 12 filing that, while it still believes the entire complaint should be dismissed, it was only asking Bissoon to reconsider her decision to allow the claims against Gormley to proceed.
