U S District Court Judge Alvin Krenzler in Cleveland denied Oberlin College's request for summary judgment in the racial discrimination case filed by former admissions director J Leon Washington. The judge left trial as the path to resolve issues with Washington at the center of the suit. Washington, now at Hamline University, alleges creation of a new post to dilute his authority and cites breach of contract emotional distress conspiracy and civil rights claims. The parties had limited settlement discussions, with a prior demand before filing but no substantive negotiations since.
