UTMB ACCUSED OF AGE DISCRIMINATION

The Blogmeister doesn't know the merits of this individual's particular case, but it does remind me of Dr. Frances Nesti's case. In that instance, UTMB ran off a 70-year-old, female pediatrician (who had earlier, before UTMB had purged its EEO office in 2006, made a claim of discrimination that stuck) yet kept a much younger one with numerous, I mean NUMEROUS, serious complaints and allegations made against him. He wasn't 70 years old, though.  Click on the highlighted text to see an e-mail about Nesti's younger colleague from her former chair, and then move on to admire this latest allegation.

The case shows Galan, who was 53 at the time of his dismissal, built up a 20-year employment history with UTMB.

He started out as a computer programmer before moving on toward being an IT manager.

The man who reportedly was spared was hired as a subordinate to Galan last year.
