Adebiyi v. South Suburban College

In an employment discrimination case, the Seventh Circuit held that the district court did not err in granting summary judgment for the defendant where plaintiff did not present evidence supporting a causal link between a charge she filed with the EEOC and the IDHR and the adverse employment action she suffered. The court noted that while plaintiff’s termination happened after she filed a charge with the EEOC and IDHR, plaintiff failed to identify evidence allowing a reasonable person to find that the defendant’s concerns about her performance lacked credibility or other evidence that would support evidence of her allegations of suspicious timing. (SCUDDER and KIRSCH, concurring)
