NORMAN, Okla. – A recently demoted dean at the University of Oklahoma announced that she has filed a lawsuit, alleging retaliations against her for speaking out about the new administration.

In January, the public learned that several cuts were being made to OU’s College of International Studies.

At the same time, Dr. Suzette Grillot announced that she had been removed as dean of the college.

“After many months of trying to prevent the new administration from minimizing international education at the university and significantly reducing support for study abroad, global awareness, international student services and multicultural inclusion, President Gallogly and Provost Harper terminated my position as Dean,” Dr. Grillot wrote on Facebook.

Just days later, Grillot demanded that OU President James Gallogly resign immediately during an anti-racism rally.

“I am not going to be as kind as the people who [spoke] before me and say, ‘In a year from now, we are going to ask for your resignation.’ I am f**** asking for it now,” she said.
