Former Health Commissioner Takes Racial Discrimination Case Against University of Cincinnati to Trial
A former Cincinnati health commissioner has reached a settlement with the University of Cincinnati on the verge of a racial discrimination trial that was set to begin Monday in federal court.
Dr. Noble Maseru, 75, served as the city’s health commissioner overseeing 450 employees and numerous medical and dentistry centers with an annual budget of $49 million. He resigned in May 2016 after a decade at the helm.
A few months later, in October 2016, he applied to be an associate professor of health policy management at UC’s Environmental Health Department.
