“#CUNY to pay more than $1 million to settle discrimination suits<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

CUNY will fork over more than $1 million to settle discrimination lawsuits brought by a professor and a high-ranking employee \u2014 both of whom were repped by a lawyer who investigated Gov. Andrew Cuomo for sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

The public university system agreed last month to pay $1,090,000 to settle a 2017 case filed by Lynda Dodd, a former City College legal studies and political science<\/a> professor who has multiple sclerosis, and claimed she was discriminated against because of her disability.<\/p>\n

Dodd had claimed her requests for more time to finish research \u201cwere met with hostility and obstruction, with no effort to engage in the required interactive process,\u201d according to her federal lawsuit. She was denied early tenure and then terminated in 2018, the suit says.<\/p>\n

CUNY admitted no wrongdoing in settling the case, which also named City College President Vincent Boudreau and others. The university agreed to pay Dodd $100,000 for lost wages and benefits; $390,000 in damages; and $600,000 for legal costs<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cProfessor Dodd was eager to take this case to trial this summer in order to seek full accountability for CUNY and CCNY President Vincent Boudreau unlawfully denying her tenure and terminating her employment when she had two years left on the tenure clock,\u201d said Anne Clark, her lawyer. <\/p>\n

\u201cAcademics throughout her field were shocked at CUNY\u2019s decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clark said Dodd can now \u201cput this behind her.\u201d She is currently teaching at Princeton.<\/p>\n

Clark was tapp<\/a>ed by state Attorney General<\/a> Tish James in March to investigate sexual harassment complaints against Gov. Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n

She also represented Kay Xanthakos, CUNY\u2019s chief architect who claimed in a 2017 federal lawsuit she was paid less than a former underling, who was not a licensed architect.<\/p>\n

The university agreed in May to pay Xanthakos $190,000, including legal costs, to settle the claim. It also denied wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Clark said Xanthakos \u201cwas pleased that she was able to resolve her issues with CUNY.\u201d<\/p>\n

A CUNY representative declined to comment.<\/p><\/div>\n
