The embattled UNC system is under fire again. Three former employees at N.C. Central University have filed lawsuits against the school's chancellor. The employees claim she discriminated against non-blacks and spent taxpayer money for personal use.

 

Local media outlets report the university issued a statement Wednesday denying what it called "numerous unfounded allegations" made against Chancellor Debra Saunders-White.

Kimberly Luse said in her lawsuit that Saunders-White, who is black, had a personal animosity toward her after she reported that the chancellor spent state money on personal expenses. Luse, who is white, said Saunders-White berated her in front of colleagues, accused her of having sex with school employees and visitors and said Luse wasn't performing her job properly.

Another plaintiff says University of North Carolina system officials know of racial discrimination at N.C. Central but have chosen not to address it.
