\n A former administrator at an Oregon university was fired after being stereotyped as an \u201cangry black woman,\u201d a lawsuit alleges.<\/p>\n

Rhonda Foster, who was hired in November 2018 by Oregon Health & Science<\/a> University as the interim chief nursing officer at Doernbecher Children\u2019s Hospital, claims she suffered a pattern of racial discrimination after taking the job, leading to her firing just three weeks later, The Oregonian reports.<\/p>\n

In an 18-page lawsuit filed Tuesday, Foster, who was recruited from California, claims a white supervisor told her as they ate lunch that she should \u201cstraighten her hair\u201d when interviewing for the permanent position.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaintiff typically wears her hair naturally curly,\u201d the lawsuit states, adding that Foster expressed her \u201cdisdain\u201d for the discriminatory comment by excusing herself from eating with her supervisor, identified in the lawsuit as Mary Beth Martin, who is white.<\/p>\n

Foster later told the same supervisor she was starting to look for permanent housing near Portland and said she was considering the Lake Oswego area, the lawsuit claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response, Ms. Martin questioned whether plaintiff could afford the cost of living there, and asked whether it was the \u2018right place\u2019 for plaintiff,\u201d the lawsuit continues. \u201cLake Oswego has a reputation of being hostile and unwelcoming to black people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin then accused Foster of making another employee \u2014 a white woman \u2013 cry during a discussion about patient health and safety at the facility, telling her during a meeting that she didn\u2019t \u201cknow how to talk to people\u201d despite being an international consultant, the lawsuit claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn essence, Ms. Martin was relating what she and other employees perceived to be the stereotypical \u2018angry black woman,\u2019\u201d according to the lawsuit, which seeks damages of more than $110,000. \u201cPlaintiff was merely doing her job in communicating directly with leadership and staff about the patient safety shortcomings of their departments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later that same day, OHSU contacted an employment placement agency that specializes in hospitals and medical facilities to terminate Foster, her lawsuit claims.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for OHSU declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing employee confidentiality, The Oregonian reports.<\/p>\n

But the university \u201ctakes seriously and investigates all allegations\u201d of discrimination, harassment and retaliation, spokeswoman Tamara Hargens-Bradley told the news<\/a>paper.<\/p>\n

In addition to OHSU, Foster\u2019s lawsuit also named Martin, First String Healthcare and its parent company, AMN Healthcare, as defendants.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for AMN Healthcare also declined to comment on the filing when reached by The Oregonian, citing pending litigation.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
