Archer—who as a tenured associate professor in CSU’s English Department from 1990 until 1 August of this year spoke out for decades about an alleged dearth of minority professors and students in her program and alleged discrimination in the state-court lawsuit—filed a retaliation charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Friday, 4 November. In the filing, Archer alleges that she was fired 12 weeks ago as retaliation for having formally complained of age, gender and race discrimination and having those claims validated by her case’s making it to trial.
