1Opinion of the Court
GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:
On December 28,1979, Southern Methodist University (SMU) notified Dr. Janet I. Merrill (Merrill) that it would not extend tenure to her. Consequently, she sued SMU, charging it with violating Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by discriminating against her on the basis of sex and religion. After a three-day bench trial, the district court held that many of the allegedly discriminatory acts were time-barred. As to the remaining claims, the court found that Merrill failed to establish intentional discrimination and held in SMU’s favor. Merrill appeals. We affirm.
