OKCU Law Under Fire for Alleged Gender Discrimination and Harassment
Not exactly the place you would expect to see issues of alleged gender discrimination and harassment in the workplace, but, of course, no employer is immune.
From NewsOK from earlier this week:
Four Oklahoma City University law professors submitted a confidential memo to the OCU attorney in October 2007 detailing alleged discrimination and harassment incidents.
It outlines allegations of sexual harassment, pay disparity and insensitivity.
The female professors also complained the OCU law school has no regular civil rights course, criminal law classes don’t cover rape, and the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade is only covered sporadically in constitutional law.
The memo was sparked by two incidents: the alleged sexual harassment of two female professors at Dean Lawrence Hellman’s home in July 2007 and the all-male panel chosen for a Constitution Day program in September 2007.
