Fmr. Professor Files Discrimination Lawsuit Against MSU-Moorhead

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — A former professor at Minnesota State University Moorhead has filed a lawsuit alleging she was discriminating against when applying for a new position at the school.

Sixty-three-year-old Claudia Murphy claims in her lawsuit that despite her qualifications, the university failed to hire her for a new job in the women and gender studies program because of her age and her complaints about the school's hiring practices.
