The former physician assistant at the University of Michigan Health-West has filed a legal dispute against the university and five executives over a preferred-pronoun policy for patients. The case involves allegations of religious bias and constitutional claims, and it is being closely watched by legal experts across the country.
The US District Court for the Western District of Michigan ruled in favor of the defendants, allowing them to enforce the arbitration clause in the employee’s contract. This decision distinguishes the current case from a previous ruling by the Sixth Circuit in Schwebke v. United Wholesale Mortgage LLC on March 28, which found that excessive discovery and litigation activity had been engaged in before seeking arbitration.
In this case, however, the court determined that the arbitration clause should be upheld, allowing the parties to arbitrate their differences regarding religious bias and constitutional claims raised by the former physician assistant. The decision marks an important precedent for employers looking to balance their policies with employees’ religious beliefs while still maintaining a workplace free from discrimination.
