Abstract
Novella Trageser was hired by Libbie Rehabilitation Center in 1971, and in 1975 Libbie promoted her to Director of Nurses. She performed her duties capably, despite the fact that she had retinitis pigmentosa. During an inspection in 1976, a state certification officer from the Department of Health informally indicated disapproval of her employment because of her handicap. The home administrator relayed these comments to the board of directors, which resolved to dismiss her. Upon learning of this decision, Novella Trageser resigned and brought suit against the nursing home, partially on the basis of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
