The petitioners in these two consolidated cases, Patricia Bedford and Anne Breen, appeal the finding of the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights (the “Commission”) of no probable cause for the petitioners’ complaint of unlawful employment discrimination by the respondents, New Hampshire Community Technical College System (“NHCTCS”) and the State of New Hampshire Division of Personnel (“Division”). The respondents object to the petitioners’ appeal and argue that the Commission’s finding should be upheld. The Court held a hearing on the issue on March 2, 2006. Upon review of the parties’ arguments, the pleadings, and the applicable law, the Court REVERSES the finding of the Commission.
