“Under this model, the plaintiffs prima facie case requires that the plaintiff prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he or she is within a protected class and that an impermissible factor played a ‘motivating’ or ‘substantial’ role in the employment decision. Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, supra, [490 U.S.] 258; Mt. Healthy City Board of Education v. Doyle, 429 U.S. 274, 287, 97 S. Ct. 568, 50 L. Ed. 2d 471 (1977); Tyler v. Bethlehem Steel Corp., supra, 958 F.2d 1181 (‘[s]hould the plaintiff wish to prove his case as a “mixed-motives” case, he must focus his proof directly at the question of discrimination and prove that an illegitimate factor had a “motivating” or “substantial” role in the employment decision’).” Levy v. Commission on Human Rights & Opportunities, supra, 236 Conn. 106.
