    This document is a verdict form from a jury trial in a case between Mary Ellen Johnson and Southwest Research Institute. The jury found that Johnson would not have been terminated but for her complaints of sex discrimination. They also found that sex was a motivating factor in SwRI's decision to give unequal tuition reimbursement to Johnson. The jury awarded Johnson $20,000 for past pain and suffering, $0 for future pain and suffering, $30,312 for lost wages, and $0 for lost benefits. They found that Johnson failed to reduce her damages by not seeking substantially equivalent employment. However, they did not award any amount for what Johnson could have earned by exercising reasonable diligence to minimize damages.
