Beth Godfrey and Jennifer Bayne Kile, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Princeton Theological Seminary, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s order granting the Seminary’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) hostile‑environment claims. The Court held that the alleged conduct by the tenant, William Miller, did not satisfy the Lehmann test’s severe‑or‑pervasive prong, and that the Seminary’s response evidence could not cure that deficiency.
