United States Seventh Circuit

In an employment discrimination and retaliation action, district court grant of summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) the court properly ruled in favor of defendant on plaintiff's retaliation claims, as no reasonable employee would see plaintiff's teaching reassignment as a materially adverse employment action; 2) plaintiff's employment discrimination claims fail, as she has not submitted evidence to show a materially adverse employment action resulting from the alleged discrimination; 3) plaintiff's allegations of hostile work environment fail as a matter of law, and under both Title VII and Title IX she cannot establish a prima facie case of harassment; and 4) plaintiff did not demonstrate a genuine dispute of material fact as to any of her claims that defendant breached the collective bargaining agreement.
