Precedent Setting Discrimination Lawsuit Seeks to Protect Gay Student Victim Against Civil Rights Violations- A $100,000,000 lawsuit recently filed against Yeshiva University and its internationally-noted medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, alleges anti-gay discrimination at the highest echelons of America's educational system. The case Padiyar v. Yeshiva, was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
Jeevan Padiyar, a published scholar with several academic honors, filed the suit against Yeshiva University for allegedly discriminating against him solely on the basis of his sexual orientation.
A graduate of Kansas State University with dual Bachelor of Science Degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry, Padiyar took the USMLE and scored in the top 1% nationally. He was one of only 60 students nationally to be funded through the prestigious Howard Hughes Fellowship in 2003.
