Case Summary

This is a case about gender-based employment discrimination. This case was brought on September 22, 2005, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah by a former employee of Stevens-Henager College who alleged that she was paid a lower salary because of her gender, in violation of the Equal Pay Act ("EPA") and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (prohibiting employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin).

This is a case about gender-based employment discrimination. This case was brought on September 22, 2005, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah by a former employee of Stevens-Henager College who alleged that she was paid a lower salary because of her gender, in violation of the Equal Pay Act ("EPA") and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (prohibiting employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin). In her complaint, the plaintiff also alleged that she was fired in retaliation for complaining about the disparate treatment. The plaintiff, represented by private counsel, sought back pay, reinstatement, compensatory and punitive damages, a declaratory judgment, an injunction requiring the defendant to cease discriminating, and attorneys' fees.

The defendants initially moved to compel arbitration, alleging that the plaintiff had agreed to arbitrate disputes in her employment contract, but the court denied the motion on December 2, 2005. The court held that the agreement to arbitrate was "illusory" because the defendant had reserved the right to change it. 2005 WL 3277777.

On December 2, 2005, this case was consolidated with another lawsuit that was brought in the same court against Stevens-Henager by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), docketed at 1:05-cv-00122. The EEOC alleged that Stevens-Henager unlawfully paid four female employees less than it paid male employees performing substantially equal work, in violation of the EPA. Additionally, the EEOC contended that Stevens-Henager fired one of those four women on the basis of her sex, in violation of Title VII. 

After discovery, Stevens-Henager filed a motion for summary judgment. On February 15, 2007, the court denied Stevens-Henager's motion in its entirety without a written opinion. The case then proceeded to trial in March 2007. After a four-day trial, the jury found for Stevens-Henager on all claims. The EEOC initially appealed, but ultimately withdrew its appeal in July 2007.

Meanwhile, Stevens-Henager filed a motion seeking attorneys' fees, arguing that it was entitled to recover fees because the plaintiffs "were aware of facts" that made "pursuit of their claims unreasonable and groundless." District Court Judge Paul G. Cassell disagreed, finding "no reason to believe that the plaintiffs were motivated by anything other than good faith" and therefore denying Stevens-Henager's motion. Stevens-Henager appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, reiterating its request for attorneys' fees. On February 4, 2008, a three-judge Tenth Circuit panel unanimously affirmed Judge Cassell's ruling (denying attorneys' fees). 264 Fed. Appx. 676.

This case is closed.
