(THE COLLEGE FIX) -- A white professor is alleging racial discrimination after discovering that two of his black colleagues’ salaries significantly outmatch his own.
William Lavell, a professor at the New Jersey-based Camden County College, discovered a salary disparity between himself and two black colleagues, Lawrence Chatman and Melvin Roberts, after filing a public records act request, his lawsuit states.
Chatman and Roberts, both engineering professors, make at least $45,000 more than Lavell, despite both having fewer professional degrees than Lavell, the lawsuit alleges.
