10th Circuit revives discrimination lawsuit against university

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has reinstated a lawsuit filed by a Native American employee alleging race and sex discrimination by a university. The plaintiff claims she was terminated after reporting discriminatory treatment. The appellate court's decision overturns a lower court ruling that had dismissed the case, allowing the lawsuit to proceed.

This development underscores the ongoing challenges in addressing discrimination within academic institutions and highlights the importance of legal avenues for individuals seeking redress.
