68 A.D.3d 559 (2009)

2009 NY Slip Op 9374

890 N.Y.S.2d 56

In the Matter of APRIL DEQUITO, Appellant, v. THE NEW SCHOOL FOR GENERAL STUDIES, Respondent.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.

Decided December 17, 2009.

There is no indication that respondent's determination was made in bad faith as the result of discrimination based on petitioner's national origin. Since there is no issue of fact with respect to that issue, a hearing was not required (Matter of Feigman v Klepak, 62 A.D.2d 816
