Walter Moore v. Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court vacated the Superior Court’s summary‑judgment ruling and remanded for factual findings on whether the plaintiff’s employment‑discrimination claim under the Fair Employment Practices Act is time‑barred, including whether the discovery rule tolls the statute of limitations. The Court noted that issues concerning the University of Rhode Island’s capacity to sue and its agency relationship with the Board of Governors were not resolved.
