Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided April 13, 1998No. 97-2297PublishedCited by 39 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
In an uphill battle, the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois (“the University”) contends that Congress did not abrogate the states’ Eleventh Amendment immunity when it amended the Age Discrimination in Employment Act in 1974. See Fair Labor Standards Act Amendments of 1974, Pub.L. No. 93-259, § 28, 88 Stat. 74. The district court denied the University’s motion to dismiss. Relying on a wealth of our precedent and our application of City of Boerne v. Flores, — U.S. --•, 117 S.Ct. 2157, 138 L.Ed.2d 624 (1997), we affirm the district court’s denial.
