New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of CUNY-Hostos Community College, Appellants v. State Human Rights Appeal Board…
May 10, 198359 N.Y.2d 69
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, granting the petition and dismissing the discrimination complaint, holding that the State Division of Human Rights lacked substantial evidence to find that CUNY-Hostos employed an unlawful quota in its 1976 retrenchment plan. The court also affirmed that the amendment of the complaint was not an abuse of discretion.
