Rachel Dolezal Sued Howard University for Alleged Discrimination That Favored African-Americans
The former head of the Spokane, Washington, chapter of the NAACP once unsuccessfully sued historically black Howard University and the chairman of its art department for allegedly discriminating against her in order to favor African-American students, according to court papers.
Rachel Dolezal, then known as Rachel Moore, said she was denied a teaching assistant position 14 years ago based on race, among other factors, according to the judgment from the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. But the court noted that the chairman did not learn of her interest in an assistantship until after he says he had filled all of the positions.
At Howard University in Washington, D.C., according to the 2005 order, Moore claimed "discrimination based on race, pregnancy, family responsibilities and gender" while she was a graduate student in art.
She also claimed her artwork was removed from a student exhibition in 2001 to "favor African-American students over Moore," the June 14, 2005, the order says. The order said the statute of limitations had expired on this claim.
