COLLEEN CRANGLE VS. STANFORD UNIVERSITY: STANFORD EXPECTED TO APPEAL
Colleen Crangle was fired from Stanford University for complaining of gender
discrimination
(see Crangle Wins Against
Stanford University from the Spring 2000 Newsletter
and http://www.gender-equity.org).
This spring she won a large monetary award in her discrimination case against
Stanford for retaliation.
Stanford then filed two post trial motions: a Renewed Motion for Judgement as a
Matter of Law
(meaning that, based on the evidence, the jury was mistaken) and a Motion for a
New Trial.
The new trial is sought on three grounds:
1) that the damages given were excessive
2) that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence
3) that the Court made errors in admission/exclusion
of evidence and in its instructions to the jury.
All motions were denied.
Stanford has not yet filed a notice of appeal but is expected to do so.
Meanwhile,
Stanford and Crangle are in settlement talks.
