Wilson v. AIM Specialty Health

Plaintiff filed a lawsuit under both state and federal law alleging employment discrimination after finding out that her non-Black colleagues received higher starting salaries and were promoted more quickly. The district court granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment and plaintiff appealed. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, explaining that while a jury could conclude that plaintiff’s former supervisor disliked the plaintiff there was not sufficient evidence from which the jury could conclude that the defendant’s justifications for its pay and promotion decisions were pretext for racial discrimination. (HAMILTON and PRYOR, concurring)
