Oregon State University is Facing Discrimination and Retaliation Complaints from Employees
Amid a whirlwind of news surrounding the departure of Oregon State University President F. King Alexander, the state’s largest university is also facing legal complaints from its employees.
Alexander’s departure was announced Tuesday when OSU’s Board of Trustees officially accepted his resignation. That’s the same day an employee filed a whistleblower lawsuit against OSU and officials including current acting president Ed Feser.
In her complaint, Grace Kuo, former Dean of the OSU College of Pharmacy, says the university aided and abetted in retaliation against her when she reported student concerns of racial discrimination and sexual harassment last year.
According to court documents, Kuo states she attended a meeting last summer in which students in the College of Pharmacy raised concerns “related to discrimination, racism, bias toward students who speak English with an accent and sexual harassment.”
