Last week, the Enquirer reported two female Xavier University professors had filed 2 gender-based discrimination lawsuits against the university and several of its high ranking officials. One suit was filed in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on 11/20/07 seeking $15 million, and the second was filed on 12/5/07 in U.S. District Court seeking $20 million.
