Employee Terminated for Proper and Improper Motives Was Legally Fired
A federal district court has ruled that an administrator was legally fired when a grant funding her pay ended, despite direct evidence of age discrimination. Prater v. Joliet Junior College, 2003 WL 22251395 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 2).
Plaintiff Gwendolyn Prater worked in outreach recruitment at Joliet Junior College, a position funded by an annual grant of $50,000 from the Illinois Board of Education. In 1998, Prater's supervisor informed her that there might not be sufficient funding for her job the following year, and that she would have to begin working with nonpublic aid clients. Prater's response was that she did not want to do so without additional compensation. In 1999, the grant was reduced, and Prater was told again that she had to work with the nonpublic aid clients. Prater refused to do so, and replied that the supervisor should “do what she has to do.” Prater was terminated, and brought suit under the ADEA.
