The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed the District Court of New Hampshire's ruling that the College did not violate theater professor Mara Sabinson's contract in a written opinion issued Wednesday. Sabinson, who initially filed suit in 2005 for discrimination and breach of contract, was offered a severance package after the College became concerned with her behavior as a member of the theater department, The Dartmouth previously reported. After Sabinson declined this offer, the College limited her class schedule, which Sabinson alleged violated her contract. In her appeal to the state Supreme Court, Sabinson attested the District Court's ruling that the College was "not required to comply with certain procedural requirements" before implementing changes in her schedule, according to the written opinion. The state Supreme Court agreed with the trial court that Sabinson's altered course load did not represent a "major change" and that the College was not required to follow set procedures for "disciplinary action," according to the opinion. The court also dismissed Sabinson's allegation that the trial court followed incorrect procedure by applying the "wrong burden of proof" and ignoring "certain statements and evidence," the opinion stated. "We're pleased that the N.H. Supreme Court has upheld the Superior Court's decision in this case," Kevin O'Leary, associate general counsel for the College said in an e-mail to The Dartmouth. "The Court is the fourth court to issue a decision confirming that Dartmouth did not violate any of [Sabinson's] rights."
