   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1129
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Bye and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case of age discrimination where his permanent successor was only two-and-a-half years younger than he; even if plaintiff did make a prima facie case, he failed to show the legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons the university advanced for its decision to demote him were pretexts for age discrimination; plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case of retaliation as he failed to create a material issue of fact as to a causal connection between his demotion and any protected activity in which he engaged.
