The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a discrimination lawsuit against Chapman University in the U.S. District Court in Orange County, Calif., on Monday, asserting that the private institution, in Orange, Calif., denied tenure to a black marketing professor and then fired her because of her race.
The professor, Stephanie Dellande, was passed over even as less-qualified non-black employees were promoted in the same department, the complaint in the federal lawsuit alleges. At the time Ms. Dellande applied for tenure in 2006, she was the only black faculty member in a department of about 30 people, the complaint says.
