UM female professionals sue, alleging discriminatory brick wall for careers Suit decries good ol boy culture at UM By: Mike Dennison and last updated 2021-08-04 20:36:25-04 MISSOULA — Four former and current high-ranking female employees at the University of Montana sued the college Wednesday, alleging its administration has created a “retaliatory culture” that punishes women professionals who challenge its authority. “UM did not create a glass ceiling for these women’s careers,” the lawsuit said. “UM created a brick wall for these women’s careers.” The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Missoula, seeks damages for the plaintiffs and a ruling that UM is violating Title IX of federal law, which forbids discrimination against women at educational institutions that get federal funding.
