Catherine Moore, a former employee of Kennesaw State University (KSU), has filed a lawsuit against the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and her former supervisor, D. Alan Ruehlman. The case, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, alleges violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and Rehabilitation Act. Moore claims she was unlawfully terminated after requesting medical leave for surgery related to her lifelong disability, bilateral hip dysplasia. The complaint details that KSU’s policy on “Sick Leave Without Pay” does not provide job protection, which Moore argues is a violation of ADA requirements for reasonable accommodation. She seeks injunctive relief, reinstatement, back pay, and policy changes.
