Ruth F. Dixon, Complainant v. Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; Edward J. Bloustein

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that confidential peer‑review materials used in tenure and promotion decisions are discoverable in a sex‑discrimination suit, rejected the university’s claim that a collective‑bargaining agreement barred discovery, and declined to create a qualified academic‑freedom privilege, affirming the Appellate Division’s judgment with instructions for protective orders and redaction.
