A DePaul University professor has filed a civil rights complaint alleging the institution is discriminating against “non-Black” students and employees.
Brian Boeck, who teaches Russian history at the private Catholic university, filed the complaint with Chicago’s Office for Civil Rights on Jan. 9.
The complaint, which Boeck provided to The College Fix, alleges “non-Black students, faculty and staff are illegally excluded” from participating in DePaul’s Black Equity Initiative, including its leadership committee.
“As a white, male, natural born US citizen and professor at DePaul University I have been illegally denied the benefits of participating in university governance (a contractual right),” his complaint states.
