Woman suing Oberlin over discriminatory hiring practices
Quote:
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.
