032721P.pdf   01/24/2005  Gwenn Okruhlik  v.  Univ. of Arkansas
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2721
   Western District of Arkansas   
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Plaintiff's decision not to 
   appeal vice chancellor's decision regarding her tenure served as a 
   withdrawal from the tenure-review process; because plaintiff did not 
   pursue the additional levels of review available to her, she did not receive 
   an official denial of tenure and did not suffer an adverse employment 
   action for purposes of evaluating a retaliation claim under Title VII; 
   university established its affirmative defense to plaintiff's hostile work 
   environment claim, as it showed that it took action on the complaints it 
   received and that plaintiff failed to take advantage of the university's 
   grievance process.
