The Chronicle: Fired Arizona State Professor Sues, Alleging Discrimination

A tenured Arizona State University associate professor fired in September 2007 by the university’s president, Michael M. Crow, for allegedly plagiarizing course syllabi has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Phoenix claiming that her dismissal was discriminatory and racist.

Theresa Cameron was the only tenured female African-American professor at Arizona State’s School of Planning in the College of Design, where she taught for ten years. She received tenure in 2000.
