A six-year legal battle might have ended in appeals court with a ruling in favor of Ohio University for an age-discrimination lawsuit that began in 2002.
Former Industrial Engineering Assistant Professor Robert Lipset, now 56, accused OU of not offering him tenure because of his age.
The Fourth District Court of Appeals sided with OU, stating in its decision that OU presented legitimate reasons for not promoting Lipset to a tenured position. The Fourth District Court judges determined that no one was able to prove that OU's reason for not granting him tenure or a promotion was because of his age.
