Harvard President Subpeonaed in Librarian Discrimination Case
According to the Boston Herald, a librarian suing Harvard for discrimination subpeonaed President Lawrence H. Summers. Librarian Desiree Goodwin seems to have been passed over for promotion thirteen times in the last ten years. She feels she is being overlooked because she is black and because of how she dresses.
I wrote a synopsis of this case a little more than a year ago.
Please don’t look in this space for any official words by Harvard regarding the case. I can’t post anything other than public knowledge because of obvious conflicts with my job. Most of the time, I know nothing about Harvard’s court cases anyway other than what’s reporting in the press.
