Hopkins denies allegations of gender bias lawsuit

May 1, 2008

In Wednesday’s Daily Record I wrote about a former surgeon/professor at the Johns Hopkins University who is suing the school and two of her former supervisors for employment discrimination. (Web readers saw the story even earlier, as it was posted to our site on Tuesday evening.)

Asked about Dr. Anne Fischer’s allegations on Tuesday afternoon, a Hopkins spokesman declined to comment on the pending litigation, citing longstanding policy at the university.

According to an item on The (Baltimore) Sun’s Web site on Thursday, though, the school has broken its silence to issue a denial.

“In a statement released yesterday,” the Sun site says, “Johns Hopkins’ press office wrote: ‘The Johns Hopkins defendants, including the two individual faculty members, deny the claims and intend vigorously to defend the case. We believe the complaint has no merit.’”
