TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS V. BURDINE
450 U.S. 248 (1981)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an employment discrimination action.
FACTS: Burdine (P) worked for the Department of Community Affairs (D). P sued D for an
alleged failure to promote her and then a subsequent decision to terminate her based on her
gender. After a bench trial, it was ruled that neither decision was based on gender. The
Fifth Circuit affirmed that P was not discriminated upon based on gender for the promotion
but that she had rebutted D's prima facie case of gender discrimination with respect to her
termination. The Supreme Court granted certiorari.
