MOSCOW -- A judge in northern Idaho has dismissed an age discrimination lawsuit a former University of Idaho employee filed against the school two years ago.
Isabel Bond, 75, sued the university in 2006 claiming she was pressured to retire from her job on the Moscow campus and given negative performance evaluations when she refused.
Bond worked at the university for 30 years with programs that provide financial assistance to low-income and first-generation college students.
Latah County District Judge Carl Kerrick ruled last week that Bond failed to show sufficient evidence of discriminatory conduct against her when she worked on the Moscow campus.
Kerrick also ruled that Bond was fired for legitimate reasons.
