Plaintiff Cheryl Goode is a resident of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

manufactured claim that he had violated some unspecified HCC policy. He later found out that

HCC claimed that he had sexually harassed students, but no sexual harassment finding was ever

madeagainst him. He was terminated from HCC and told thathe was ineligiblefor rehirehowever

other Hispanic and White individuals who have also been terminated due to alleged sexual

harassment have been allowed to return to HCC. Rather Dr. Chukwu has been painted as a

stereotypical black sexual deviant although there is no finding tosupport such a claim. HCC failed

to identifyany policy that hesupposedly violated. Healleges he was terminated because of HCC’s

racist agenda against Black employees as the pattern of the racial discrimination plan follows

exactly what happened to him:

a. a Black employee is targeted for firing, disciplinary action, demotion, or removal;

b. allegations are manufactured with false, exaggerated, excessive, or completely untrue narratives about the Black employee which purports to claim the Black employee violated some HCC rule or policy;

c. an “investigation” is launched into the inflated or false charge;

d. the charade of an “investigation” is merely a pretext to place the Black employee under suspicion, placed on administrative leave, reassigned, or have their position eliminated all together;

e. the Black employee is then confronted with the trumped-up charges and resultoriented investigation and the findings in the “investigation” are then used to “pad” the employee’s personnel file for justification of further adverse employment actions against the Black employee; and

f. if the Black employee refuses to confess to the false and/or exaggerated charge(s), or otherwise tries to expose the injustice of the charge (for example, by filing an EEOC complaint, filing or participating in litigation against the College, or whistleblowing), they suffer multiple indignities such as being placed on forced administrative leave, deprived of promotions, placed under the supervision of unqualified employees whom the Black employeesactuallyfirsttrained,and/orbeingleftoutofmeetingsand ultimatelyterminated from their employment.
