Question:

In 2002, Sami Elestwani worked for Nicolet Biomedical and was a key account manager. He was informed that he would be reassigned due to concerns about his ability to adequately perform his job because of his Arab heritage. His boss told him that the fact that he was Muslim, was from the Middle East, and had to travel extensively to meet with customers were “not good for the company.” Nicolet offered him a lower-level position in a different part of the country. When he complained to human resources about his boss’s remarks and the reassignment, he was fired. He was subsequently replaced by a non-Arab employee. Elestwani sued Nicolet for national origin discrimination, claiming that the company wanted to transfer him simply because of his religion, ethnicity, and cultural heritage. What result? [Elestwani v. Nicolet Biomedical, No. 04-C-0947-S (W.D. Wis. Aug. 23, 2005).]
