United States Third Circuit

In a Title VII retaliation action against plaintiff's former employer, a university, the district court's grant of summary judgment to defendant is: 1) reversed as to the contract revision claim where at the prima facie stage, a plaintiff need only proffer evidence sufficient to raise the inference that her engagement in a protected activity was the likely reason for the adverse employment action, not the but-for reason; but 2) affirmed in all other respects.
