Dr. G.E. Ghali, the chancellor of LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport
SHREVEPORT - According to a Thursday morning news release from a Shreveport-based attorney, shortly after Dr. G.E. Ghali, the chancellor of LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport was accused of sexual discrimination and harassment by four employees, one of the four was placed on administrative leave, with formal complaints filed against her.
The news release highlights a statement from Allison Jones, the lawyer representing the four EEOC complainants, which said: “After our press conference last week, where my clients and I spoke out about the egregiously sexist, and unjust working conditions perpetrated by Dr. Ghali, unnamed medical residents made dubious complaints against my client, D

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.
