3rd Circuit Denies En Banc Review In Title VII Case

The Wilkes Barre (PA) Times Leader reported yesterday that the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has denied en banc review in Petruska v. Gannon University. A 3-judge panel in September held in the case that the "ministerial exception" to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act precluded recovery by a female chaplain who claimed that she was demoted at Gannon University because she was a woman.
