Sue L. Grundberg, Appellant v. Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, Appellee

Summary

The court reversed the Commission's determination that Grundberg had not produced substantial evidence of race, sex, or age discrimination in the denial of an Engineer II promotion. It held that her evidence, including comparative qualifications, a history of adverse employment decisions, alleged manipulation of qualifications, and possible panel bias, could support an inference that the employer's stated reasons were pretextual, and that the Commission's investigation was insufficient. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
