Jury: Arizona State Retaliated Against Black Professor | Inside Higher Ed

Arizona State University retaliated against a Black professor for stating his views on diversity during a job interview — and the university owes him $357,000 because of it, a jury has found, according to The Arizona Republic. As a result of the retaliation, Arizona State passed over the professor, Nicholas Alozie, for a dean position. Arizona State will try to convince a judge to undo the jury’s verdict based on evidence that showed the professor’s statements were not why he didn’t get the position, a university spokesperson said.
