Lawsuit Alleges Discrimination in Hiring at Northwestern Law School, Targeting Paul Gowder and Myriam Gilles
Jul 5, 2024, 02:02 PM
A lawsuit has been filed against Northwestern Law School alleging discrimination in hiring practices, specifically claiming that Paul Gowder was hired because he is black. The lawsuit has sparked significant controversy, with many defending Gowder as a brilliant scholar recognized for his groundbreaking work. Critics argue that using race in hiring outside of a bona fide remedial affirmative action plan is illegal under Title VII. The suit also targets other faculty members, including Myriam Gilles, who is highly respected in her field. The allegations have been described as racist and unfounded by several commentators. One of the targeted professors, who is an associate Dean, has written two books in the last three years. The personal attacks on individual black women professors have been called cruel and wildly wrong.
