The Chronicle: Lawsuit Accuses Delaware State U. of Racial Bias in Promotion of White Worker Over Black One
An employee of Delaware State University has accused the historically black institution in a lawsuit of passing him over for a promotion because he is black.
In a complaint filed last week in the U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Del., the employee, Rory Lewis, said that a less-qualified white worker, Charles Dougherty, had been promoted instead to be in charge of the university’s machine and carpentry shop. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and court costs. Mr. Lewis is still employed at the university, while Mr. Dougherty is not.
