Star-Ledger: Ex-Sussex community college professor may sue for age discrimination, judge rules

SUSSEX COUNTY — A former adjunct professor at Sussex County Community College may proceed with a portion of a lawsuit she filed against the college that alleges she was not rehired because of her age, an appeals court has ruled.

While upholding a lower court’s decision that rejected most of the claims made by Joan Stephenson, now 70, a two-judge panel ruled she can proceed with a portion of her lawsuit that alleges age discrimination.
