A federal district court jury cleared the University on Friday of all charges filed by a former School of Industrial and Labor Relations senior extension associate who alleged age and sex discrimination after Cornell decided not to renew her contract.

While the federal judge previously twice dismissed Margaret Leibowitz’s ’73 charges against Cornell without a trial, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided to give Leibowitz the opportunity to make her case in her six-year legal battle against the School of Industrial Labor School on Oct. 23.
