Summary
A former chief diversity officer at Sacramento State, Mia Settles-Tidwell, has sued President Luke Wood and the CSU board, alleging age, gender, and racial discrimination that forced her resignation. Despite the university’s public commitment to equity under Wood’s leadership, Settles-Tidwell claims she was excluded from key initiatives, given a smaller raise than peers, and publicly humiliated by the president. She highlights “intra-racial discrimination,” drawing parallels to the tragic case of Antoinette Candia-Bailey, and seeks damages for emotional and physical harm. The case, set for a September court hearing, pits her personal experience against the institution’s stated diversity goals. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
