Texas A&M University Sued After Allegedly Discriminating Against White, Asian Faculty Job Applicants
Texas A&M University is being accused of actively discriminating against white and Asian faculty job applicants in a lawsuit filed by a conservative legal organization .
America First Legal filed the lawsuit last week on behalf of Richard Lowery, a professor of finance at the University of Texas at Austin who says he is “able and ready” to apply for a job at Texas A&M but that the university’s racially preferential hiring system prevents him and other white and Asian men from fairly competing for open positions.
“The racial preferences and set-asides established by Texas A&M prevent Professor Lowery from competing with other applicants for these faculty positions on an equal basis,” the lawsuit says.
