Former Lincoln University employee sues school for racial discrimination

A former employee of Lincoln University has filed a lawsuit against the institution over alleged racial discrimination.

ABC 17 reports Sheila Gassner, a 55-year-old white woman had worked for the university for over 30 years before she was let go.

She claims that during her time at the university, her compensation was comparatively less than her African American coworkers.

This lawsuit comes after former human resources Director Jim Marcantonio, a white man, had sued the university claiming racial discrimination.
