United States Supreme Court
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar, 12-484
Title VII retaliation claims must be proved according to traditional principles of but-for causation, not the lessened causation test stated in 42 U.S.C. section 2000e-2(m), the motivating-factor test, and therefore the Fifth Circuit's finding for plaintiff on his retaliation claim using the motivating-factor test is vacated and remanded.
