The EEOC's Milwaukee district office sued St. Michael Hospital of Franciscan Sisters, Milwaukee, Inc., a Milwaukee hospital, on December 16, 1996 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The EEOC's complaint is unavailable; however the causes of action are described in the court's opinion deciding the hospital's motion for partial summary judgment, filed in June 1997, and the hospital's motion foe summary judgment, filed in August 1997. The EEOC alleged that the hospital violated Title VII when it discriminated against one of its employees based on race (African American) by creating a hostile work environment, failing to promote and disciplined the aggrieved employee because of her race, and retaliated against her by terminating her employment. The summary judgment motions were resolved in March 1998and only granted it insofar as the EEOC claimed that the aggrieved employee was denied a transfer based on race. The parties ultimately settled the case out of court, the details of which are unknown, and the case was dismissed on July 8, 1998.
