Second Mosier Jury Hung
Marjorie Mosier's second
trial vs. UC has ended like the first one, in a hung jury (see the Fall
1997 Newsletter for more detail on her case). The vote was 7 to 5 in her
favor on the issue of retaliation, but a vote of 9 to 3 is required to win
a civil case.
A majority of the jury voted that gender was not a factor in the
denial of Mosier's tenure application. The judge had handicapped this part
of her case by denying her the right to compare her tenure file with those
of men who were promoted.
A new trial date will be set on March 20, 1998. Mosier's attorneys
will try again to obtain approval for the use of comparable files. All
expressions of interest, support and/or suggestions for legal approaches
are welcome. Please fax to 714-838-9925 or
