The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has rejected a discrimination claim by a former professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who drew national attention last year by going on a hunger strike to protest his tenure denial.
According to The Tech, the student newspaper at MIT, the commission said that the professor, James L. Sherley, who is black, should have filed his complaint with the agency sooner than September 2007. The newspaper said the commission ruled that the clock started ticking on the 300-day window in which complaints must be filed on the day in January 2005 when he learned he would be denied tenure.
