Weatherly, et al. v. Alabama State University

This case arose when three former employees of ASU alleged that they were subjected to a hostile work environment and retaliation during their employment. ASU appealed the district court's judgment. The court concluded that the district court did not err in denying ASU's motion to sever where the district court had broad discretion to deny the severance in the interest of judicial economy; the court did not have jurisdiction to hear ASU's appeal of the district court's denial of its Rule 50(b) and 59(b) motion where ASU had not filed a notice of appeal with the district court clerk; and the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding front pay. Accordingly, the court affirmed in part and dismissed in part. View "Weatherly, et al. v. Alabama State University" on Justia Law
