Anderson v. Chief Legal Counsel

The petitioner, Raylana S. Anderson, filed a discrimination charge (775 ILCS 5/7A — 102(A) (West 1998)) with the Illinois Department of Human Rights (Department) against her employer, RSM McGladrey, Inc. (McGladrey). Her charge was dismissed by the Department (775 ILCS 5/7A — 102(D)(2)(a) (West 1998)). Upon administrative review, the chief legal counsel for the Department sustained the dismissal (775 ILCS 5/7 — 101.1(A) (West 1998)). On appeal (775 ILCS 5/8— 111(A)(1) (West 1998)), Anderson argues that the chief legal counsel abused her discretion by sustaining the dismissal. We affirm.
