Prof Hired Due to Her Race Loses Race Discrimination Lawsuit
3rd August 2014
Roslyn Chavda, a former assistant professor at the University of New Hampshire, was hired at the school during a hiring freeze … because of the school’s “ongoing efforts to enhance racial diversity on campus.”
Chavda was fired from her job in 2012 due to poor performance reviews and failure to publish in scholarly journals, according to UNH.
Chavda claimed that a white male untenured professor hired around the same time as she also did not publish, and is still employed by the school. She also had claimed gender discrimination, having had issues due to giving birth to twins shortly after her arrival at UNH.
