Federal Court Addresses Section 1983 and Whistleblower Law Issues in Employment Law Case


In the case of Krug v. Bloomsburg University, No. 4:18-CV-1669 (M.D. Pa. March 11, 2025 Wilson, J.), the court denied the Defendant’s Motion for Judgment as a matter of law and a new trial following the entry of a verdict in favor of the Plaintiff in a §1983, Title VII, Title IX, Whistleblower Law and PHRC case.

According to the Opinion, the Plaintiff, a former Bloomburg University Dean, brought a lawsuit claiming that he faced retaliation and was fired for helping an administrative assistant file a sexual harassment report against another employee of the school. The Plaintiff prevailed at trial and the motions at issue followed.

After reviewing the pertinent law, Judge Wilson denied the motions.

I send thanks to Attorney Barry Dyller, Esquire of the Wilkes-Barre, PA law firm of Dyller & Solomon, LLC for bringing this case to my attention.
