Heading: NYCHRL Retaliation Claim

Text: NYCHRL’s retaliation provision is broader than Title VII’s. See Ya‐Chen Chen, 805 F.3d at 76. So long as the retaliatory acts are “reasonably likely to deter a person from engaging in protected activity,” “[t]he retaliation or discrimination . . . need not result in an ultimate action with respect to employment, . . . or in a materially adverse change in the terms and conditions of employment.” N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8‐107. Nevertheless, we agree with the district court that Mestecky’s NYCHRL claim fails for the same reasons as her Title VII and NYSHRL retaliation claims. The record reflects that Defendants had decided to deny Mestecky tenure prior to the filing of her discrimination claim; therefore, Mestecky has failed to show that the “acts complained of [would] be reasonably likely to deter a person from engaging in protected activity.” See Ya‐Chen Chen, 805 F.3d at 77. 5
