Every person who experiences this needs to sue. It will never end until people relentlessly push back and make organizations and companies pay.
Article: Oberlin College sued by former professor
The lawsuit describes a July 7, 2019, meeting between Blumenfeld and Oberlin Dance Department Chair Ann Cooper Albright, where she was advised to look for a new position, allegedly being told, “we can’t just hire another white woman from the Midwest with a husband.”
“Ms. Albright, acting individually and in her capacity as chair of Oberlin’s Dance Department, effectively rejected Ms. Blumenfeld for the new tenure-track position, not because of her accomplishments, her skill, her experiences, her work ethic, or her individual and personal qualities, but instead, because of her race, the color of her skin, her sex, her sexual orientation, her national origin, and her ancestry,” according to the suit.
Blumenfeld filed a complaint with Rebecca Mosely, Oberlin College’s director of Equity Diversity and Inclusion, over the matter asking for confidentiality fearing professional repercussions, the suit says.
In January, Oberlin College hired a candidate for the role whom the lawsuit argues was less qualified.
“While Ms. Blumenfeld was more qualified for the tenure-track position than the individual Oberlin hired, she failed to meet the identity-based qualifications that the defendants required, which included qualifications based upon race, skin color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin and ancestry,” the lawsuit alleges.
