“Dr. Lake is an incredible advocate for equity and justice, and ultimately, the jury affirmed his experience and his struggle, so we are pleased about that,' his lawyer said.
A jury dismissed three of the four claims leveled in a racial discrimination lawsuit against Northwest Christian University , but sided with the professor with regard to one of his claims and awarded him $127,000.
“While we respect the process of the court and deliberation of the jury, we are surprised, given the dismissal of the three claims related to the alleged racial discrimination, that the jury found in favor of Dr. Lake regarding a supposedly hostile work environment,” NCU President Joseph Womack told Newsweek.
Lake worked as an adjunct faculty member beginning in 2007, and was hired as a full-time professor in 2011. During his time at the university, the professor claimed the institution didn’t adequately handle his concerns about the way he was treating, contributing to what he argued was a hostile work environment. The suit claimed these conditions persisted when administrators dismissed his claims, silenced his questions and failed to protect himself and students of color.
Along with expressing concerns about his own treatment, the lawsuit said Lake advocated for students of color, who shared their own"painful experiences" with racism with the professor.
