A federal judge has dismissed a discrimination lawsuit brought against the University of California Hastings College of the Law by a staffer who was laid off in 2012 as the school slimmed down to adjust to declining applications.
Judge Phyllis Hamilton of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled on March 13 that plaintiff Sara Viteri-Butler hadn’t offered sufficient evidence that the law school laid her off because of her age, race, pending eye surgery or pension eligibility.
