Achieved summary judgment in favor of a private Connecticut university on an age discrimination claim challenging the university’s decision to remove a professor from her previously held position as director of an undergraduate program. After the professor filed an appeal, we successfully argued before the Second Circuit resulting in an opinion affirming the district court’s decision in its entirety.
