Rajender v. University of Minnesota was a landmark class action lawsuit dealing with sexual discrimination at an American university. [1] The case was filed on September 5, 1973, by Shyamala Rajender, an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Minnesota. [2] Rajender accused the university of engaging in employment discrimination on the basis of sex and national origin after she was turned down for a tenure-track position despite being recommended for the position by several university committees. [3] The suit was certified as a class action by the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on February 13, 1978. [4] After eleven weeks of trial, the suit was settled in 1980 by a consent decree. [5] Rajender received $100,000 and Judge Miles Lord enjoined the university from discriminating against women on the basis of sex. [6] Rajender's attorneys were awarded approximately $2 million in fees. [7] The suit had a lasting impact on US colleges and universities. [8]
