Lawsuit Claims the University of Connecticut Racially Discriminated Against an Assistant Professor

The University of Connecticut racially discriminated against a Black assistant professor and retaliated against her for speaking up by refusing to renew her employment contract, a new lawsuit alleges.

Plaintiff Tiffany A. Brown claims she was subjected to racial discrimination while employed as an assistant professor at UConn during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic school years.
