McBrearty v. Kentucky Community and Technical College System, 262 S.W.3d 205 (KY 2008)

A professor held an eleven-month tenure-track teaching contract with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. One of her colleagues recommended that she include an opinion poll in her course materials, but she declined and continued to decline when her colleague pressed. After she complained about what she considered to be harassment to her supervisors, she learned that her teaching contract would not be renewed. She filed claims of sex and disability discrimination in the Fayette County Circuit Court, but the court dismissed her claims. The Court of Appeals of Kentucky affirmed, holding that she was unable to demonstrate a prima facie case of either form of discrimination.
