Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532 (1985) Facts: James Loudermill was dismissed from his job as a security guard for the Cleveland Board of Education for failing to disclose a prior felony conviction on his application. Loudermill, a classified civil servant under Ohio law, filed an appeal with the civil service commission stating Ohio statue provided he could only be terminated for cause; therefore, he was entitled to administrative review of his dismissal. Nine months after the appeal was filed the Commission upheld his termination. Loudermill filed suit in the District Court for the Northern District of Ohio alleging the Ohio statute that provided for administrative review of a discharged public employee was unconstitutional on its face because it did not provide an opportunity for the employee to respond to the charges against him prior to being discharged.

Donnelly also challenged his termination in the District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The District Court dismissed both suits for failing to state claims on which relief could be granted. Loudermill and Donnelly both appealed. On a consolidated appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reversed in part and remanded. (721 F2d 550) The court held that Loudermill and Donnelly had been deprived of due process and that their compelling private interest in retaining employment, combined with the value of presenting evidence prior to dismissal, outweighed the added administrative burden of a pretermination hearing. The court affirmed the district court’s decision finding no constitutional violation regarding Loudermill's nine month wait for an administrative decision from the civil service
I was impressed with the oral argument of Vance V. Ball State University case. When I first listened to the oral argument I gained a clear understanding as to why petitioner Vance reason where for filing a lawsuit. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforcement under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; make it unconstitutional for employers to discriminate against employees on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex (EEOC, n.d., para. 1). Due to the power that businesses needed to fire workers spontaneously, government and federal laws have been set up to guarantee that purposes behind end are defended and that separation does not assume a part in one's capacity to keep up their occupation (Szypszak,

The Everson v. Board of Education case in 1947 looked at whether or not church and state should be separate. The Everson v Board of Education case permitted reimbursement of money to parents who sent their children to school on public transportation. The parents who choose for their children to attend Catholic schools were also eligible for this reimbursement. Was the Establishment Cause of the First Amendment violated in this verdict? The Court has not always read the constitutional principle as complete, and the range of separation between Church (religion) and State (government) in the U.S. is a continuing topic of dispute. Religion has to do with what we believe about God, life, morals. Politics is government, order, society, and

Brown v. Board of Education is a historically known United States Supreme Court case in which the court declared state laws that established separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. This case completely contradicted and overturned a previous, also historically known case, Plessy v. Ferguson, which was passed nearly 50 years prior. Between the time of Brown vs. the Board of Education and the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964 various organizations employed a variety of tactics for integration including but not limited to non-violent vs. violent means and utilizing their own distinct levels of influence within existing institutions and government. While the non-violent tactics are often most cited as the reason for change, it is in fact the threat of vengeful violence by the increasingly uniting civil rights organizations and public reaction to the violence of whites against groups merely fighting for the right to participate in the ideal that is America that truly affected change, culminating in the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964.

Petitioner disingenuously attempts to circumvent this Hearing Officer’s previous orders dismissing Beaumont II and Beaumont III by re-phrasing the same issues; that the District did not comply with Orders 3-7 of the Decision and Order in Beaumont I. It has already been established that the implementation of a prior Hearing Officer’s order in a prior case is not subject to a new due process complaint. The allegations regarding appropriate goals and objectives in Paragraph 31-A are nothing more than a recitation of Order 3-7 loosely veiled as new issues but nevertheless inextricably entwined with the Decision and Order in Beaumont I.
Whether the circuit court erred by denying Johnson’s motion to exclude documents under Md. Rule 5-901.
This appeal arises out of an order of the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County affirming the decision of the Board of Appeals (“Board”) of the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (“DLLR”) to deny appellant’s, Gallen Floyd’s (“Floyd’s”), application for unemployment insurance benefits. Floyd contends that the Board found he was terminated due to gross misconduct in want of substantial evidence to support its conclusion. Additionally, Floyd avers the Board erroneously considered hearsay evidence in violation of procedural due process.
(Bennett-Alexander) Reeves needed to meet his burden of proof in laying out a prima facie case against Sanderson Plumbing to have the case accepted. The next step for the court of appeals was to review and determine whether Reeves had provided adequate evidence that the termination in question was made for “a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason.”
