Seven women of color were passed over for promotions at San Jose State University in 2019, and they’re blaming university President Mary Papazian’s leadership for it.
The women accused Papazian of discrimination against faculty of color after all of them were either denied tenure or promotion after passing through all the university’s required steps without incident during the 2018-19 school year. According to Christian Jochim, SJSU chair of the California Faculty Association Faculty Rights Committee, four of the seven women were either unanimously or strongly recommended for a promotion, while the other three were unanimously recommended by their department. All seven were eventually denied promotion.
