7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Ray K. Haynes v. Indian University, et al.

Case No.: 17-2890

Officials: BAUER, SYKES, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges

Focus: Title VII Claim

Ray Haynes was employed as an assistant professor in the Department of Education at Indiana University. At the end of his six-year probationary contract, he lost his bid for tenure. Haynes, who is black, alleges that the University denied his tenure application because of his race in violation of federal law. The district judge entered summary judgment for the University and we affirm. The judge’s evidentiary rulings were sound, and the record does not support an inference that the University denied tenure because of Haynes’s race.
