EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A tenured instructor at Lane Community College has accused the school of failing to address her concerns about a male student she says stalked her.
The Register-Guard reports (http://is.gd/EC6Fsp ) that Nadia Raza filed a lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court in Eugene. She is accusing LCC officials of negligence, discrimination, retaliation and denying her equal protection.
LCC spokeswoman Joan Aschim declined to comment on pending litigation.
In her suit, Raza says she went to administrators in 2014 after the male student turned in an assignment in which he wrote that he was affiliated with neo-Nazis. She said he then emailed her repeatedly asking her to meet off campus.
Raza says she felt threatened because she is a Pakistani-American Muslim woman. She says the school failed to protect her safety.
