Jones is representing Jennifer Woerner, DMD, MD, associate dean of academic affairs; Sharon Dunn, PhD, dean of the School of Allied Health; Christina Notarianni, MD, director of pediatric neurosurgery; and Christi Rinaudo, EdD, of the department of academic affairs. Jones said the complaints against Ghali stem from ongoing gender-based discrimination and retaliation.
Last month, after deep thought and much personal consternation, Jones clients filed claims with LSU s main Title IX office, charging that Ghali fostered pervasive gender-based discrimination, sexually inappropriate behavior, and permissiveness of sexually inappropriate behavior by male colleagues, according to a statement from Jones.
LSU s Title IX office dismissed the women s claims, Jones said.

SHREVEPORT - Employees of the LSU medical school in Shreveport filed complaints with the federal government about Chancellor Dr. Ghali E. Ghali and other senior leadership members for sexual harassment, gender discrimination and retaliatory actions.
The complaints, which were filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by four employees, also had been filed weeks ago with the LSU System’s Title IX office.
According to The Advocate, 16 medical students reported sexual harassment by an administrative faculty member. F. Scott Kennedy, former dean of admissions, was accused of making female students and applicants write book reports on pornographic stories.
