This letter to U. Oregon Trustees is about pay inequity in the psychology department.
U. Minnesota Regents know that in the academic half of the Music School with 15 professors a woman has not been hired or promoted to full professor in 30 years. Awful. jenniferfreyd.medium.com/equal-pay-at-t…
The Minnesota Department of Human Rights has an open investigation of retaliation and discrimination in the School of Music. A MDHR subpoena of documents was served last November.
In a lot of these institutions women who complain about pay inequity and discrimination, as well as harassment, are retaliated against. Of course that's illegal but internal investigations take forever. This needs to stop.
The pay discrimination suit by @jjfreydcourage against the University of Oregon is pending in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. They would rather pay lawyers than pay her.

Urgent call to the Georgia Secretary of State: @KLoeffler has placed an order to sell 100,000 shares of whatever for 30,000 votes. Instructions to execute trade immediately.
Sorry @KLoeffler. The bell has rung, market is closed. No more trades.
We still don't know the facts here. But earlier shootings must be investigated. A Falcon Heights MN City Council member in 2016 admitted to knowing about police racial profiling before a fatal shooting and doing nothing about it. Yet no investigation. cnn.com/2020/12/31/us/…
DOJ under @JoeBiden needs to investigate racial profiling by police departments and also any evidence that police chiefs, mayors and city council members knew about racial profiling by police and didn't do anything about it. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Nice sob story for a felon who ripped off investors of millions. The Beaver Creek arts center and other buildings bearing his name should buy back naming rights and the court can use some of that money for restitution.
A 16 year old Minnesota boy was sent to prison for life for murder. A detective offered a witness $500 to provide his name and another man confessed to the crime.
It's time to investigate the Hennepin County prosecutors for their actions. nytimes.com/2020/12/15/us/…
"An investigation by The Associated Press and American Public Media in February revealed glaring flaws in the prosecution by an office led by Ms. Klobuchar, then the Hennepin County attorney."
"police had failed to collect surveillance video from a convenience store that Mr. Burrell said could have proved his innocence. The store, Cup Foods, was the same one outside of which George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers in May."
I don’t know for sure what happened here but the University of Minnesota has a history of covering up discrimination and then aggressively litigating claims. This case should go to a jury and not simply be tossed by a judge. duluthnewstribune.com/news/crime-and…
We have a very conservative federal district court bench. This means good cases could get tossed without ever reaching a jury, including discrimination cases against employers with a history of discrimination. Until @JoeBiden fixes this, state courts may be the better venue.
If Judge Schiltz is correct in his conjecture that the University of Minnesota didn't intend to discriminate, then what happened in this other case? They paid out nearly $2 million of taxpayer money because .... they didn't discriminate? OK .... duluthnewstribune.com/news/crime-and…
I agree with everyone who says the Administration of @JoeBiden will be ten times more ethical than the Administration of @realDonaldTrump.
Ten times zero is zero. @JoeBiden must set a higher bar. Americans are fed up with deceit, conflicts of interest and corruption.
The agenda of @JoeBiden on ethics must be clear as of January 20. Being better -- even much better -- than @realDonaldTrump is not enough. Americans want change. Change starts at the top.
Presidents, Vice Presidents and Members of Congress should be prohibited from owning and trading individual stocks and should be subject to the same financial conflict of interest laws that bind other federal employees. 18 U.S.C. 208.
