Associate Dean Sperino files amicus brief with U.S. Supreme Court

Professor Sandra Sperino co-authored an amicus brief in the case of Ames v. Ohio Dep’t of Youth Services. The brief argues that the statutory text of Title VII should govern the question of whether a plaintiff can prevail on a discrimination claim. Through the McDonnell Douglas framework, some courts have required plaintiffs to prove more than the statutory text demands to proceed on a discrimination claim. The brief is available on the Supreme Court’s docket here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/23-1039.html
