www.HarrisonLawGroup.com Faith Harrison briefly discusses the recent National Labor Relations Board’s ruling, and what is required of employers.

The University of Texas in Austin is known for its accepting stance it takes on making all people feel welcome and safe and equal. This institution I speak about is a branch of UT in Austin, but it doesn’t nearly live up to the standard of the UT name. I was a student employee working for the university when I was violated by my employer, made a formal complaint, then through the (lack of) effectiveness and understanding of the LGBTQ community, the representative sent to handle my case accused me of unfairly casting blame about against my employer for openly discussing my gender identity (and my genitals) to every human that crossed her path. I was physically and verbally threatened in the presence of the HR rep, who is responsible for putting me in a situation that set the scene for numerous violations of my student and human rights. In addition to violating the university employment discrimination agreement, they (all parties involved) violated my privacy rights under HIPPA, and my rights as a student under FERPA. This attempt of a university could not be a worse choice if you’re looking for a school or employment, especially if you are queer-identified in any way. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable, violated, and humiliated, and I’ll be very glad to leave the border (Rio Grande Valley, Texas) as soon as possible.
