直麵陪審團, 決戰分雌雄 (四)

(2013-07-20 18:42:49) 下一個

2013年5月23日, 美國雪城 (Syracuse, NY) 風和日麗, 鮮花怒放, 春色滿園。人們一點也看不出, 這裏曾經是暴風雪肆虐的地方。那天，一個聯邦陪審團在雪城判決, 紐約州立大學技術學院（SUNY IT）沒有續約前教授周序申博士的雇傭合約, 以報複他的投訴, 違反了一九六四年民權法第七章, 《美國法典》第42篇第1981節以及紐約州人權法。

該陪審團同時判決, Dr. Lisa Berardino (老板E), Dr. Stephen Havlovic (老板B), 和 Dr. William Langdon (老板A) 對紐約州立大學技術學院的報複違法行為, 負有個人責任, 違反了《美國法典》第42篇第1981節以及紐約州人權法。

陪審團並責令紐約州立大學必須賠償周序申博士的全部欠薪。

至此, 四個被告, 一網打盡，無一漏網。所有指控，全部成立。真可謂法網恢恢，疏而不漏。

擁有64個校園和八萬八千名教員, 並培養出無數法官和律師的紐約州立大學（State University of New York，簡稱SUNY）是美國規模最大的綜合性高教係統。其在聯邦法庭敗訴後, 美聯社,《華爾街日報》, 《高等教育紀事報》（The Chronicle of Higher Education）, 以及紐約州立大學技術學院附近的幾個城鎮的報紙和電視台等媒體廣泛報道了陪審團的判決。

紐約州政府的人權執法機構, 紐約州人權署 (New York State Division of Human Rights) 更是在推特(Twitter) 上發表了推文（Tweet）, 並在臉書上轉發了報導。

謝謝。Always be happy.

回複akiller的評論:

Thanks. Go for the kill!

wxcboy 2013-07-28 16:37:42 回複悄悄話 Congratulations.

Some suggestions:
If you review all the prof.'s publications, you can find whether those publications are truly written by him.

If you can find the other two Chinese Prof. who had similar experience as witness, your case would be convincing.

Regards,

回複大頭媽媽的評論:

Thanks. Your suggestions are good for all of us. I did review all the prof.'s publications.

wxcboy 2013-07-28 16:35:28 回複悄悄話兄弟，祝賀你！契而不舍，精誠所至，金石俱開。拿了六十萬，分給律師點，回國吧。身份不重要，我有藍皮還想換回紅皮呢，都是圍城。聽說寧波的大學滿需要象你這樣背景的，可以和他們海外人才中心聯係。

回複nyvillain的評論:

謝謝, 律師費對方另外付。都是圍城，94。

wxcboy 2013-07-28 16:32:12 回複悄悄話勇氣可嘉！
這個挑戰權威，狀告老板的過程漫長而慘烈，困難無比，難怪大多數人遇此情形會視為畏途，而放棄維權。

回複偶燈斯陋的評論:

謝謝, 歡迎互相交流學習。

懲罰 is only for private entities, such as companies. You cannot punish the government.

謝謝。早有人做了, 我們才從一九六四年民權法中受益。

雲素 2013-07-22 20:45:31 回複悄悄話看了關於你的案子的報導和你的blog,很難想象你所經曆過的磨難。終於打贏了官司，真是老天開眼，正義最後戰勝了邪惡。既然這樣的磨難你都挺過來了，今後還有什麽樣的人生困難你不可以戰勝的呢？祝你今後的路越走越光明！

xyz100 2013-07-22 19:09:04 回複悄悄話 Wow, admire ur courage!,,,

nightrose 2013-07-22 18:42:28 回複悄悄話 congratulations!
Hope you can draw a conclusion to the case and start new life again.

老99 2013-07-22 14:36:13 回複悄悄話返還欠薪好像並不是一種懲罰。他們輸了官司，是否應該有懲罰措施？

老99 2013-07-22 14:33:41 回複悄悄話恭喜！you set a good precedent for all minorities!

kaixinmom 2013-07-22 13:40:47 回複悄悄話祝賀你! 欽佩你的了不起和堅持!

Xiaoyuerziba 2013-07-22 13:29:38 回複悄悄話祝願你早日找到稱心理想的工作！感謝你多年的堅持！我也遇到過職場歧視, 我選擇了放棄！佩服你！

tiredofjobhunting 2013-07-22 13:13:39 回複悄悄話向你學習.中國人應該像你這樣,更應該團結起來.

chinomango 2013-07-22 13:03:57 回複悄悄話了不起！
不過你涉及的東西是否太雜？適合自立門戶但不適合打工了。

吃糖的魚 2013-07-22 12:34:48 回複悄悄話作為在美校友,祝賀你,深知其中之不易,欽佩你的勇氣和堅持!

wxcboy 2013-07-21 14:06:05 回複悄悄話回複時傳祥的評論:

This country has too many lawyers already, most of them are not good. Just say no to a law degree.

Beside, if I were in a big law firm, as a Chinese, I would only get half or a quarter of yearly bonus as other lawyers get, even if I can win more cases than others. This is a reality.

時傳祥 2013-07-21 13:32:54 回複悄悄話 A law degree may be the next thing to do for you! :))

時傳祥 2013-07-21 13:31:25 回複悄悄話 Most people would just go away when their contracts not renewed. They are not familiar with the process of a lawsuit and usually try to stay away from it. So you are an exception, I have to say. So congratulations. I know it is hard work, and it takes a lot of courage to fight it. But I guess it gets easier once you know the process. I passed some of the links of the articles you listed to my friend. He does not have a formal litigation experience so i am sure your victory should help encourage him. Thanks!

wxcboy 2013-07-21 13:26:41 回複悄悄話回複時傳祥的評論:

The court has the thick menu for Pro se litigators, but went to the court hearing myself without a lawyer, arguing for many many hours just as though I were the lawyer. Did two depositions myself as though I were the lawyer. Had some help but no help when in the court.

時傳祥 2013-07-21 13:11:16 回複悄悄話還有，最初是你自己開始the case? How do you know how to commence a lawsuit? For example, how do you know how to write a summons and complaint? Then the discovery and interrogatories, etc. Then appeal after the defendants' summary judgement was granted to dismiss the case. You had someone helping you?

時傳祥 2013-07-21 13:05:35 回複悄悄話我有個朋友也在替人打類似的官司。原告已經回國，我朋友是tenure了，是同事，故拔刀相助。好像被告已經notice of motion for a summary judgement to dismiss the case。朋友在寫answer 或叫 answering affidavit.看了你的case，覺得很像。
