SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 2 – Bard College has been
sued for racial
discrimination, in a
semi-sealed complaint which
says its "nearly all-white
Annandale campus [i]s a
scenario from the racial
horror film, 'Get out.'"
Complaint on Patreon here.
Jane Doe
the plaintiff is described as
a gay woman of color hired by
Bard in 2008. which then
refused to protect her against
a violent student, "conducting
a sham investigation against
her that was itself an act of
racial harassment, and
ultimately terminating her
employment."
On August 29 in
the case, assigned to U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Cathy Seibel, a motion
for Jane Doe to proceed under
a pseudonym.
On September 2,
the parties agreed on a
briefing schedule: Bard to
oppose by September 27, reply
on October 11. But Bard's
letter is still not in the
docket - they must agree, or
filing dueling redactions by
September 7. Watch this site.
The
complaint quotes Bard Dean
Michele Dominy telling Doe
that faculty "thought she was
qualified but 'arrogant.'" It
says Associate Dean of Student
TB, an alum,
"sexually harassed and bought
drugs from students."
Doe quotes Chinua
Achebe he left Bard because he
could not stay at a place that
treated his wife that way -
calling her "crazy" and "off
her rocker." My old school,
indeed.
The case is Doe
v. Bard College, 22-cv-7258
