Seattle Post Intelligencer: Mars Hill Graduate School to pay $300,000 judgment
Mars Hill Graduate School of Seattle was ordered as part of a settlement this week to pay a $300,000 judgment to its first female faculty member in a case involving allegations of harassment and discrimination.
The judgment, ordered in Snohomish County Superior Court, was awarded to Heather Parkinson-Webb, who was also one of the seven founders of the Christian-based school. In addition, the court ordered the school to provide her with a letter expressing its sadness at her departure and regret that “a great deal of misunderstanding” surrounded her departure. The school is also required to continue to provide diversity and anti-discrimination training for all its employees for at least three more years.
