Post by: LostInTime on March 14, 2007, 07:57:12 AM
CU-Denver graduate student claims she was sexually discriminated against at an internship (http://media.www.thecampuspress.com/media/storage/paper1098/news/2007/03/14/News/Transgendered.Student.Sues.Cu.For.Discrimination-2775066.shtml)

Jennifer Anne Blair is suing CU-Denver through its Board of Regents and the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Colorado (KFHP) for sexual and age discrimination.

Blair, a post-operative transsexual female, alleges unfair and unequal treatment during her time as a student in CU's clinical psychology masters program.

Blair, 55, enrolled in the masters program at CU-Denver Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC) in the fall of 2004.

She completed her coursework for the program in May 2005 with a 4.0 grade point average.

I have always been somewhat impressed with those who maintain a 4.0.  Maybe it was because I could never stay awake in class long enough to maintain anything about a 3.5.  Or in highschool it was a 3.2X.  I admire their ability to actually stay awake long enough to absorb something useful.
