Gordon v. Board of Trustees of Calif. State Univ.
Plaintiff Richard Gordon (Gordon) appeals the trial court’s grant of summary judgment on his claim of retaliation under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Government Code section 12940, subdivision (h), in favor of defendant and respondent The Board of Trustees of California State University (defendant). Gordon’s lawsuit grew out of his 2012 claim filed with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, alleging discrimination based on age, race and disability. Gordon and defendant reached a settlement in 2013. Two years later, Gordon brought this action, alleging that defendant retaliated against him for his earlier complaint by failing to honor the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement, impeding his research, and rendering him persona non grata among longtime colleagues.
