School only hired me to fulfill diversity quota: suit

Professor Robin Hayes, whose academic work focuses on race and diversity, says she was officially canned last year for telling students their class might be cancelled due to low enrollment – while a white male colleague accused of orgies with students was allowed to “quietly retire,” according to the Manhattan Federal Court claim.

The alleged wrongful termination came after years of complaints from Hayes, producer of a 2015 documentary called “Black and Cuba,” about getting worse treatment and fewer resources than white colleagues. She alleges they received “meaningful mentorship, post-hire support… functional equipment.”

She was denied fair pay for a summer course on hip-hop she sought to create and a colleague told her that her work in media wouldn’t be counted toward tenure, Hayes claims in court papers.

Instead, one co-worker suggested tenure could be achieved if she published a book, adding it “doesn’t have to be that good,” Hayes charges.

The discrimination has done “long-term” damage to her career and left her “humiliated,” says Hayes, who is seeking unspecified damages.
The New School called the allegations “completely without merit.

This is the States dude, people sue because someone painted their house in what they feel is an offensive colour. Chill.
