UCLA being sued by white woman who wanted to write her PhD thesis about white women.

Student Sues UCLA, Claiming Discrimination
Suit Alleges That Faculty Ridiculed Student's Thesis Project On White Women

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA was sued Friday by a white graduate student who claims she was discriminated against when she wanted to write her thesis about white women. Social Sciences and Comparative Education student Dori Kozloff filed the lawsuit in federal court against the university and the head of its Center for the Study of Women, Sandra Harding, whom the suit identifies as the adviser for Kozloff's thesis project.

According to the lawsuit, when Kozloff asked to do her paper on the "limited whiteness of white women," the adviser said writing such a paper would be "academic suicide." Faculty members ridiculed the idea and even accused her of being a racist, according to the suit.
In addition to discrimination, Kozloff also alleges civil rights violations, intentional infliction of emotional distress, intentional interference with prospective advantage, creation of a hostile environment, and negligence.
Harding labels herself a feminist philosopher. Check her website, a total leftist nutcase.

This Dori sounds like a spoiled brat. Maybe she should have been born black.

This is not an unusual situation for white women at universities. I have encountered similar treatment at the university I am attending.

I had her in two of my classes. She's said some pretty racist things and was oblivious to her own privilege.

GSEIS was full of more narcisistically wounded professors than I ever thought possible. This law suit is the tip of the iceberg. In my time as a student there there was no faculty accountability, rampant bullying and abuse throughout. These people are opportunists mascarading as champions of social justice. A socratic exchange is considered insubordination.
I am so very pleased that GSEIS is reaping what it has sewn and that Aimee Dorr's abuse of others means that her academic legacy will pale beside her obvious lack of humanity and her support of her colleagues disgusting behaviour.

I am not afriad to sign,
