Gay, white professor sues historically black university for discrimination
A white professor is suing Alabama State University (ASU) over claims the historically black university discriminated against him and his partner based on their race and sexual orientation.
According to the lawsuit filed in federal court on June 11, Dr. John Garland is suing the ASU and eight current and former employees for racially discriminating against applicants for university positions and subsequently targeting him when he retaliated against those practices.
"A small, powerful group at the University believes. . .[they] have no place at the University simply because of their. . . non-Black identity."
[Garlands supervisor] expressed his opinion, stated or implied, that Dr. Garland did not belong at the University and was not suited to [the Universitys] type of students because Dr. Garland is not African-American, the lawsuit states.
