Melinda S. Wille sued the Curators of the University of Missouri, alleging retaliatory discharge for filing a workers' compensation claim. The trial court dismissed her damages claim based on sovereign immunity and later entered judgment for the Curators on her amended petition for injunctive relief after a bench trial. The appellate court affirmed, holding that sovereign immunity bars monetary damages claims against the Curators for workers' compensation retaliation. The court also found the trial court's denial of equitable relief was not against the weight of the evidence, as the termination decision was made before her injury.
