Another former employee has filed a lawsuit against Washington County-based Pacific University.
Fallon Hughes, who formerly worked at the private university's school of pharmacy, is the third person to file a lawsuit recently against Pacific. She filed her federal lawsuit July 2.
Last month, former biology professor David Scholnick sued Pacific, alleging the university forced him out by leveling allegations of gender bias at him. A few weeks earlier, professor Richard Paxton filed suit against Pacific University, alleging he was suspended for more than a year, over allegations he had violated "the civil rights of his students" with anecdotes and comments he made in class. Paxton claims he has effectively been fired from Pacific — a claim the university has denied.
