Paul Palmer Jr. II v. Indiana University and The Trustees of Indiana University
21-1634
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson.
Civil. Affirms summary judgment granted to Indiana University on a Title VII complaint filed by employee Paul Palmer Jr. II. Finds Palmer’s failure-to-promote claim is time-barred. Finds Palmer’s unequal pay claim fails on the merits. Concludes the undisputed evidence shows Palmer enjoyed higher pay than all of his colleagues, except for one, who is not a proper comparator. Judge Frank Easterbrook concurs.
