Garland, 46, is a tribal member of the Choctaw Nation but his skin color is white and he is perceived by colleagues to be white and Caucasian, according to the lawsuit...
Garland states in the lawsuit that a supervisor over Garland repeatedly told him he didn't belong at the university and asked him why he was there, which Garland believed was directed towards his race and sexual orientation, according to the lawsuit.
Garland's partner, Steven B. Chesbro, who, according to the suit, is the only dean at ASU not designated as African-American or black, has filed a discrimination complaint against ASU with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission... Some... examples:
An African-American ASU diversity officer complaining at a public campus forum at which Chesbro was chairman that there were too many whites on the faculty. "This is an HBCU, after all," the suit quotes the diversity officer as saying. "Why did we have to listen to two white men speak today?"
After Chesbro was appointed Dean of the College of Health Sciences, where Garland was already on a tenure track, the suit contends some faculty and students expressed a fear that the department had "gone white" and called it "the White House."
Never hear of stuff like this happening in other countries...
