1Opinion of the Court
LIPEZ, Circuit Judge.
Adhering to longstanding precedent, the district court dismissed this age discrimination action against the University of Puerto Rico (“University” or “UPR”) on the ground that the University is an arm of the state entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity from suit in federal court. On appeal, the plaintiff asserts that this circuit’s test for analyzing whether a public entity is an arm of the state has changed in recent years, and he argues that the University does not qualify for that status under current law. Detecting no error in the court’s analysis, we affirm.
