“The plaintiff brings suit to enjoin these illegal discriminatory practices, and to ensure that all components of the University of Michigan comply with their obligations under federal anti-discrimination law,” the lawsuit reads.
FASORP also sued Northwestern University in January, alleging that the Northwestern University Law Review there openly discriminated by “hiring women and racial minorities with mediocre and undistinguished records over white men who have better credentials, better scholarship, and better teaching ability.”
