Report Link Manager Fired For Violating Nonfraternization Policy Loses Appeal.Ogletree Deakins - June 25, 2008 A federal appellate court recently dismissed a lawsuit brought by an African-American manager who claimed that his discharge was racially motivated because he dated (and subsequently married) a white hourly employee.

Report Link Tenth Circuit Finds No Pretext In Hospital's Assertion That Disruptive Physician's Privileges Should Be Terminated.Ogletree Deakins - June 03, 2008 Healthcare entities continue to monitor federal court decisions related to the relationship between hospitals and credentialed physicians to determine whether hospital bylaws are being viewed by the courts as contracts with the doctors. Recently, however, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals side-stepped the “contract” issue while addressing a race discrimination claim brought by a doctor against a hospital. Instead, it analyzed the case under the typical burden shifting framework generally applicable in federal discrimination cases. Under that analysis, the physician failed to show that race was a motivating factor in the hospital’s decision to terminate his privileges there, and his case was dismissed.

Report Link Supreme Court Rejects "Slap You in the Face" Standard for Evaluating Qualifications Evidence in Discrimination Cases.Ford & Harrison LLP - March 02, 2006 In a significant employment related decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Eleventh Circuit used an improperly vague standard in evaluating the evidence in a race discrimination case. Accordingly, the Court ordered the Eleventh Circuit to reconsider the evidence using a more precise standard. See Ash v. Tyson Foods Inc. (Feb. 21, 2006). The Court also held that the Eleventh Circuit was wrong when it held that a supervisor's use of the term "boy" in referring to the two African American employees who sued Tyson Foods was not evidence of discrimination because it was not modified by a racial classification.
