Malandi v. Montclair State Univ. — civil — reversal — Krause

The Third Circuit today held that Montclair State University is an “arm of the state” and thus entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity from federal suit. The opinion resolves a split among district courts in the circuit and gives a thorough review and application of the court’s Eleventh Amendment precedent applicable to state universities.

Joining Krause were Ambro and Thompson D-NJ by designation. Arguing counsel were Jennifer McGruther for New Jersey and Michael DiChiara of Krakower DiChiara for the appellees.
