United States Seventh Circuit

In a Title VII suit against a University brought by a Native American employee claiming that a promotion denial was motivated by anti-Native American bias, summary judgment in favor of the University is affirmed as plaintiff lacks evidence that the University officials refused to promote him in retaliation for his civil rights complaint concerning University athletic shirts depicting an Indian Chief, or for any reason other than his relatively poor performance.
