A white professor is suing Alabama State University (ASU) over claims the historically black university discriminated against him and his partner based on their race and sexual orientation.
According to the lawsuit filed in federal court on June 11, Dr. John Garland is suing the ASU and eight current and former employees for racially discriminating against applicants for university positions and subsequently targeting him when he retaliated against those practices.
“[Garland’s supervisor] expressed his opinion, stated or implied, that Dr. Garland did not belong at the University and was not ‘suited to [the University’s] type of students’ because Dr. Garland is not African-American,” the lawsuit states. Garland, who is a member of the Choctaw Nation but is identified as white by colleagues, was hired by the university in August 2008 as an adjunct professor. In January 2009, Garland was rehired as an assistant professor for the Master of Rehabilitation Counseling Program in the Department of Rehabilitation Studies in the College of Health Sciences (COHS).
His white same-sex partner, Dr. Steven Chesbro, was hired at the university around that time. They legally married in Maryland in February 2013.
Chesbro is currently dean of COHS, which the lawsuit alleges that students and faculty commonly refer to as “the White House.” He has an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charge filed against the university.

Are there any historically black colleges which “grant” degrees whose degrees are worth a damn?
Pass the popcorn indeed. If we’re lucky, we’ll get some quotes from some militant black studies professor calling the gay professor a “white faggot” or something like that.
Normally, I’d root for the anti segregationist, but I don’t believe that anyone with severe mental disorders should be teaching.
Good. I love it when priviliged victim groups clash with other priviliged victim groups.
Between queer whites and living whites you have forgotten, mexicans, terrorists, deserters, snails, lizards, owls, tadpoles, fungii and all others. Whites are at the bottom.
Oh. Yes - my bad...
But wait! These are not just blacks, they are “historically black.”
I dunno - the Klan With A Tan has the Justice Department but the Rump Rangers own the media. I got a twenny on the latter but I'm demanding points. Over and under. So to speak.
You are right.
Hmm, that isn’t on my cheat card. Don’t know how to score it.
Of course the word "niggardly" is completely unrelated to the "N word."
And the white man has a Native American tribal affiliation. Better get out the calculator!
Hoist on your own petard....
Queer blacks uber alles
Nah. Islam trumps them. Islam trumps everything.
So many victims and so many lawyers. There’s just not enough money for all the suin’ goin’ on.
You go Girl !!! LOL
POPCORN TIME!!!
If only he were illegal and islamic, they'd offer him the dean's position.
Actually, I am a guy.
