A trans professor is suing K-State for more than $300,000 because he says the university discriminated against him because of his gender identity and sex.
In a complaint filed this week in federal court, Harlan Weaver, a professor in K-State’s Department of Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies, alleging discrimination and retaliation on the basis of sex. He said the university and two faculty members now in other departments treated him disparately because of his sex and gender identity.
K-State has not yet filed its answer to Weaver’s claims.
