Ex-dean claims racism by UW (AP)

A former University of Wisconsin-Whitewater dean filed a racial discrimination complaint against campus officials on Tuesday, saying he was subjected to intense scrutiny and demoted because he is black.

Lee Jones filed the complaint at the state’s Equal Rights Division, which handles discrimination complaints against state agencies, alleging UW-Whitewater officials singled him out for an audit because of his race.
