Following up on my previous post, Tenured Law Professor Sues University Of Michigan Alleging Racial- And Gender-Based Discrimination:  Law.com, Judge Cuts Counts From Professor's Discrimination Suit Against Michigan Law:

A University of Michigan Law School professor who claims she has been discriminated against during her 20 years at the school can move ahead with portions of her lawsuit.

Laura Beny filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan last August, and on Friday, a judge ruled on the defendants’ motion to dismiss.

Beny’s attorneys—Alice B. Jennings and Carl R. Edwards, partners at Edwards & Jennings—alleged that Beny suffered discrimination, a hostile work environment and retaliation by the university’s Board of Regents, the law school and Mark D. West, law school dean, under federal and Michigan law …

.Beny claims she was subjected to inequitable treatment dating back two decades, when she joined the law school faculty in 2003.

According to an amended complaint, from her initial experiences as a first-year assistant professor, Beny learned that predominantly white male faculty colleagues spoke in racialized, gender-biased and stereotypical terms when discussing minority and female candidates for assistant professor positions.
