Texas A&M Sued For Discrimination By Two Iraqi Researchers

The Houston Chronicle reported last week that two Iraqi doctors who formerly worked as researchers on in vitro fertilization at Texas A&M University have sued the University, several of its units and former co-workers for religious, racial and national origin discrimination. The researchers, who fled Iraq because of opposition to their research, say that they were regularly mocked, and that animal feces and urine were thrown on their prayer rug. After an investigation, the school refused to take action on the complaints.
