Ellen Pao Loses Silicon Valley Bias Case Against Kleiner Perkins; New York Times, 3/27/15

David Streitfeld, New York Times; Ellen Pao Loses Silicon Valley Bias Case Against Kleiner Perkins:

"The plaintiff, Ellen Pao, had accused the firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, of discriminating against her in the course of her employment and eventual dismissal.

The decision handed Kleiner a sweeping victory in a case that had mesmerized Silicon Valley with its salacious details while simultaneously amplifying concerns about the lack of diversity in the technology industry.

Even with her loss in the case, Ms. Pao’s suit succeeded in prompting debate about women in technology and venture capital, said Deborah Rhode, a law professor at Stanford University."
