Central Connecticut State U. Settles Professors’ Gender-Bias Lawsuit

January 23, 2012, 12:39 pm

Central Connecticut State University has settled a gender-discrimination lawsuit filed by three female professors who said the institution and its president had improperly denied them promotion and tenure, according to a local CBS radio station. The professors—Barbara Nicholson, Marsha Bednarski, and Rathika Rajaravivarma—were paid an undisclosed amount of money following a preliminary ruling by a federal judge who wrote that the tenure portfolios of the three women had been “destroyed, lost, or altered.” The university’s failure to preserve those records shows negligence, the judge wrote.

    1)  If the university destroyed, lost, or altered documents, which is easily proved if you come to court saying “my dog ate the portfolios,” you will be charged with punitive and remedial damages.
    2) The four fifths rule is evidence of violations of affirmative action laws.  The numbers for promotion and tenure, at an “eye ball glance” appear to be in violation of the four firths rule.
    3) The CCSU Affirmative Action Office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support the claims of discrimination.  The validity and integrity of an internal investigation is almost always questionable, but when the President directs the committee members involved to alter their statements to coincide with his statements………………..

    Please change the bottom of your advertisements to read:  “Warning:  Women and minorities are encouraged NOT to apply.”

    Pretty sad and the destruction or “loss”, of not one, but three portfolios is the most telling….

    There are 26 job opportunities available at CCSU on January 24, 2012.  Will there be more job opportunities next month?  Did they get a state budget increase or is there something more going on here?
