Herring v Ludwig
Ann Arbor

Sean Herring told the FHC he was refused an apartment reserved for “graduate students only”. The UM undergraduate contacted the FHC for an investigation of age discrimination.  FHC testing found that the Ludwigs were willing to show the apartment to older undergraduates (in their 30′s and older) while undergraduates in their 20′s were told about the graduate student only policy and not invited to see the unit.

Court: State
Settlement: $500
