which should tell you there is no valid case


Because there isnt'. Why don't you fools realize that the media plays on the plaintiff's side of these cases? And often there Is "no there there" because anyone can sue in America but few cases ever make it to trial or judgment. grow up and learn before you poist such junk again


Do you think plaintiffs and their lawyers like spending a fortune on loser cases?


The plaintiff already lost 2/3 of her case. The only check n balance to a frivolous lawsuit is if she has to pay for her losing effort.


What are the 2/3 she lost?


I assume PP is not familiar with how civil suits work and is trying to apply some kind of arbitrary math to the summary judgment order. It looks like the court dismissed one of the named defendants and one of the claims against Purdue. The heart of the case survived summary judgment and is headed to trial. The decision likely didn't reduce the potential civil damages available to Plaintiff by much if any.

Not a lot of new information, but the Purdue Exponent has an update on Monday's trial proceedings:

PP sounds like an unemployed lawyer giving out free legal advice on DUUM. Free legal advice is free cuz you get what you pay for.

It's more than possible that the Plaintiff didn't deserve tenure *and* Dr. Ishii needs to be removed yesterday.


US Legal System has entered the chat.

If he believes that, not very smart to bait the US legal system.

This girl is asking for the court to reinstate her as the the tenured prof at Purdue. If she were this good, she should be able to find a tenured job elsewhere. $o, $omething i$ not right about this law$uit.

Sounds like you're worried about this. If there is nothing to her claims then justice will be served. Let her have her day in court, and see what happens.

You're trolling, right? Hoping for an emotional response because you called the plaintiff "this girl."

You'll have to ask Ishii.

So, if someone discriminates against you, just let them have their way and go somewhere else? That's not how this works.

Let's wait and see if the court agrees she should be a tenured prof.

When was the last court case where a jury played the HR role in promoting someone to a tenure job? Not going to happen this time.

With this much controversy I doubt she would want to work in that environment anyway.
