(Clarification) Hispanic Phoenix College Teacher Sues MCCCD in Federal Court Over Race Discrimination and Retaliation

(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 08/01/13 -- On July 31, 2013, The Strojnik Firm LLC released a publication concerning math professor Dr. Cleopatria Martinez, who sued Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) for race discrimination and retaliation in relation to her employment at Phoenix College. The story goes on to say that a deponent in that litigation opined that Phoenix College President Anna Solley and Math Department Chair Joe Sueyoshi are racist.

The clarification is that the deponent did not opine that Dr. Solley was racist, but that Dr. Solley is intimidating and retaliates especially against Latinos and Hispanics. The deponent, who is also a Latina employee at Phoenix College, further testified that Dr. Solley's "whole demeanor is one of retaliation [and] intimidation." The deponent went on to testify about the hypocrisy of seeing flyers at Phoenix College concerning the family atmosphere there, but "what kind of administrators do we have that would allow themselves a person, to really harass and intimidate a fellow employee..."

Dr. Martinez' attorney, Peter Strojnik, stated in relation to the deponent's testimony, "During my examination, I was very concerned for the deponent. It was my strong sense that she was extremely fearful that Dr. Solley would retaliate against her for her testimony."

Dr. Martinez' lawsuit against MCCCD was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona under case number CV12-702.
