United States Tenth Circuit

In a Title VII and 42 U.S.C. section 1981 action brought by Mexican-American faculty members against the University of Denver and others alleging disparate treatment, hostile work environment and retaliation on the basis of plaintiffs' race/national origin, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where, despite testimony that plaintiffs endured various instances of incivility, rudeness, and allegedly offensive statements regarding their ethnicity and national origin, the instances of allegedly adverse and material actions against them did not meet the requirements of Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Ry. Co. v. White, 126 S.C. 2405 (2006).
