Sara Levin, Appellants v. Yeshiva University, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that Yeshiva University's housing policy does not discriminate on the basis of marital status, but the plaintiffs have adequately pleaded a disparate impact claim under the New York City Human Rights Law because the policy disproportionately burdens gay and lesbian students; that claim was reinstated and the case remanded for further proceedings, while the claim by plaintiff Wildfire was dismissed for lack of standing.
