"The ombudsman told me that... I would just have to deal with it." 

7/12/2016

I am an administrator at a major university with a medical school. My previous experience with other medical schools were positive, so when I was told by a member of central administration that I was "a little too light in my loafers for my job" I went to the ombudsman. The ombudsman told me that discrimination due to sexual orientation is only a policy at the state level, but at the university, I would just have to "deal with it." I am searching for a new academic home and hope to leave this place as fast as I can.
