Download: Lawsuit by fired diversity fundraiser against UCSD

A former University of California San Diego employee, hired to raise money for diversity programs, has sued the university alleging that she was fired for speaking up about discriminatory practices at the La Jolla campus.

The plaintiff, Ana Baiz-Torres, contends she was a victim of racial discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination.

Baiz-Torres was hired in September 2010 to fill a new position created after a series of racial incidents that roiled the campus last year.
