Former Dean Sues Millersville University for Harassment and Discrimination
MILLERSVILLE, Pa. — A former dean at Millersville University has filed a civil rights lawsuit against the school, accusing it of discriminating against her because of her age, race, and gender, according to court documents.
Charity Welch, 67, filed the lawsuit on Oct. 6 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Welch, who resides in Willow Street, Lancaster County, worked as an assistant dean in the College of Graduate Studies and Adult Learning from 2016 to 2019.
During her time in the CGSAL, Welch says, she experienced “severe” harassment from Victor DiSantis, who at the time served as the dean of the CGSAL and supervised her.
