Turns Out My University Covers for Racists.
I work at Oklahoma City University, we are allied with the United Methodist Church.
This guy was an officer, left for a year and has since come back, no one knew this about his past during his first tenure of employment.

Back in May students found out about his past and started circulating the information.
Fast-forward to July 10th when I have this guy coming to me at the library (where I work on campus) hurling threats of getting HR involved and later making a racially charged comment involving Black Lives Matter.
Why?
He thought that I was the one spreading this unfortunately, factual, publicly available knowledge about him on campus.
I was singled out because I am half-black and I work the night shift where I am one of the few employees who interacts with our ONLY black officer.
See where this is going?
I was profiled, harassed, and had attempts of intimidation thrown at me because I am black and I am friends with their only black cop (who is constantly subject to harassment).
Since then administration have stonewalled all efforts of students to speak out (they delete any mention of this story from their social media accounts). The HR chief didn't respond to the allegations for three full days (she is also in charge of the PD, imagine that).
A grievance was filed directly with the president of the University which was forwarded to the General Counsel. Trustees, faculty and our staff council are taking the issue up, but this "man" is still employed. The EEOC is also involved.
My co-worker (who was also involved) and I have a meeting with the president and the general counsel tomorrow to discuss this. We think they want to give this "man" an easy exit so he can say he is quitting to spend more time with his family-the usual bullshit.
There will be a story in the student newspaper next week exposing all of this. I can't wait.
Oh, here are some of this asshole's social media posts.
On top of this, someone obtained a communication from a staff member who frequently has lunch with members of admin who stated that administration were going to protect this scum.
That has all changed now since information has become more widely available on campus.
This is bullshit that these assholes feel they can get away with due to their favorite president being in power. Not on my watch.
Here is a history of this place's racial issues.
