Donald Dobkin, an associate faculty member at the College of Graduate Studies at Central Michigan University, claimed age and gender discrimination because he was not interviewed for a position at Baltimore for which he had applied. The school later hired a younger woman for the position, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
Dobkin sued the University of Iowa College of Law in 2009 for age discrimination after he was not granted a job interview for a teaching position — he was 55 at the time. That case was dismissed in December of 2009 after a federal judge ruled that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa lacked jurisdiction. Dobkin has refiled suit in Iowa state court, and a trial date was set for August 2011.
