San Francisco Chronicle: U.S. ends bias investigation of Stanford

The U.S. Department of Labor has ended its investigation into whether Stanford University discriminated against some female faculty members and researchers.

Of the 16 employees who joined a gender discrimination complaint filed in 1999, only five complainants remained, the others having dropped off for various reasons. Investigators in the department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance did not find any gender or racial discrimination against those who remained, said department spokeswoman Deanne Amaden.
