CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- The former Chattanooga State Community College director of police services has filed lawsuit claiming she was discriminated against by one of her former bosses and eventually fired on trumped up charges.
The lawsuit stated Assistant Vice President of Plant Operations Steve Huskins refused to call Stephanie Hill "Chief" and told her subordinates not to use the name either. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the suit also claimed Huskins ignored Hill in favor of her male peers and launched a campaign to have Hill removed from her post.
Huskins declined to comment, directing questions to the school. Chattanooga State spokeswoman Eva Lewis said the school couldn't comment on a pending legal action.
Hill's civil complaint alleged gender discrimination and retaliatory discharge and requested a jury trial.
