Ian P. Cooper
Mollie G. MohanIan Cooper and Mollie Mohan have won summary judgment in a tenure denial discrimination case brought by a former member of the faculty at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. In Hatcher v. Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, et al., the former faculty member claimed that she was discriminated against on the basis of her gender when the University denied her application for tenure and promotion and terminated her employment. The faculty member also asserted that she had been retaliated against and that her due process and First Amendment rights had been violated. Ian argued the summary judgment motion on January 20, 2015, and on February 18, 2015, United States District Judge Nancy Rosenstengel issued her opinion granting the University’s motion and dismissing the plaintiff’s claims.
