Employment Commission Sues Chapman U., Alleging Race Discrimination in Tenure Case (Chronicle of Higher Education)
The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a discrimination lawsuit against Chapman University in the U.S. District Court in Orange County, Calif., on Monday, asserting that the private institution, in Orange, Calif., denied tenure to a black marketing professor and then fired her because of her race.
The professor, Stephanie Dellande, was passed over even as less-qualified non-black employees were promoted in the same department, the complaint in the federal lawsuit alleges. At the time Ms. Dellande applied for tenure in 2006, she was the only black faculty member in a department of about 30 people, the complaint says.
In denying Ms. Dellande's tenure application, Chapman cited poor teaching performance and service, and inadequate scholarly contributions, the complaint says. In the document, the employment commission cites commendations from her colleagues that conflict with that assessment.
A spokeswoman for Chapman, Mary Platt, said the university had not yet seen the lawsuit and could not comment.

I don't know anything about this woman, but she sure looks scary. Maybe that's good. Maybe she's into Witchcraft, like that Delaware Tea Party gal. But that would likely be a plus at a place like Chapman. That's a kinky crowd. These right-wingers nowadays. What's up with that?
