2017 as an enrollment associate, helping students throughout the admission process. She had over ten years' experience in this field. There was an available enrollment officer position above her. The enrollment officer position was given to a younger Hispanic female with no experience or credentials. The job was given to her by a newly appointed dean who also was Hispanic. The new Dean shared with others that he would never give the position to Ms. King or another Black female who worked at HCC before Ms. King. The young Hispanic female (Anna Maria Lopez) was allowed to leave work early to attend school to acquire credentials she needed to hold the position she had been improperly granted without required qualifications. Ms. King complained to the HCC HR department and heard nothing back. She then went to the EEO office at HCC with the complaint and did not receive a response. She then reported this discrimination to the EEO office in Dallas after she was informed that the Houston EEO office had members working there to cover up HCC's misdoings. The Dallas office told her that she was required to file in Houston. After verifying with the HCC HR department, the Houston office dismissed the claim that the young Hispanic female did not have the necessary skills/credentials for the position, even though she did not. Ms. King then met directly with the Hispanic male Dean (Mathias Garza) in charge of hiring, and the Dean told her that she needed to get over it as she was just mad she did not receive the position. He also ordered her to train the young, unqualified Hispanic female so that the Hispanic female could become her supervisor. With all available options exhausted to her, and faced with the prospect of further exposing herself to the toxic and discriminatory environment at HCC under the Maldonado Displacement Plan, Ms. King resigned her position. 167.
