In case you missed the in-depth coverage of Labor & Employment Law Daily during September, here’s a recap of some key developments in the L&E community.

Highlights include:

In the Supreme Court: The High Court, on September 2, granted the Trump administration’s application for stay of an order reinstating FTC Commissioner Rebecca K. Slaughter and ordered the parties to brief and argue two issues.
Federal courts of appeals: The First Circuit denied the government’s motion for a stay of a preliminary injunction freezing layoffs at three federal agencies; the Second Circuit vacated summary judgment against a Caucasian educator’s Section 1983 claim the New York City DOE had a racially discriminatory municipal policy that created a hostile work environment; and the Sixth Circuit ruled that a transgender professor who was denied a request to move to the school’s main campus, failed to show sex or disability discrimination or retaliation.
Also of note: A federal district court in South Dakota temporarily prohibited a university from placing an art professor on administrative leave and requiring it to reinstate him after he posted a comment on social media referring to Charlie Kirk as a “hate spreading Nazi.”
