A former University of Missouri dean claims that she was fired because of her race and her expressing skepticism over the university’s diversity initiatives. She’s now suing the school for wrongful termination.

Dr. Rachel Brown, former associate dean for student programs — responsible for recruitment, admission, and student life at the University of Missouri School of Medicine — alleges that the university didn’t like her criticism of the university’s singular focus on getting ethnic minority enrollment.
