United States First Circuit

In a Title VII suit against a university and university officials for gender-based employment discrimination, the district court's grant of the defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim is affirmed, where: 1) the allegation that she was held to a different standard because she was a woman did not follow from any factual content set out in the pleading or any reasonable inference therefrom; and 2) the complaint alleged no facts that would support an inference that the university acted on the basis of gender.
