Professor in Age-Bias CaseA state appeals court has upheld a ruling that Ohio University did not discriminate against Robert Lipset, a former assistant professor in the department of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, when it refused to grant him tenure in 2001, according to The Athens Messenger, a local newspaper. Mr. Lipset, 58, left the university in 2002. He filed an age-discrimination complaint with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission in July of that year. After an investigation, attempts at mediation, and a hearing, the commission ultimately found that he had been the victim of age discrimination in his unsuccessful bid for tenure. In doing so, the commission overruled its own administrative-law judge’s recommendation to dismiss the case. The Fourth District Court of Appeals, however, agreed with a 2007 trial court that had overturned the commission’s ruling. Observing that “the sole issue in this matter is whether Ohio University denied Lipset promotion and tenure on account of his age,” the appeals court held that the lower court’s ruling against the commission “properly concluded that Lipset’s age was not a factor in the promotion and tenure decision.” The university said Mr. Lipset had been denied tenure on account of his record as a researcher and grant recipient. —Richard Byrne Posted on Tuesday March 11, 2008 | Permalink |
