Abstrakt: This article focuses on the race discrimination lawsuit filed by the author against the Claremont University Center and Graduate School. Claremont Graduate School belongs to the six-member Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California. The author says that it was April 1979 when he first visited the Claremont Graduate School. He entered believing in the institution, and believing in the new president of the school who took almost every opportunity to publicly proclaim his support for the civil rights of minorities. The author was surprised when during the trial, that same man testified that he had prevailed in eleven discrimination lawsuits that had been brought against him by African-American and Latino professors and administrators in prior years. The author was unaware that many other minority professionals perceived him to have unfairly caused them much misery and pain. The author says that the success of his lawsuit probably lies in the extent to which he was able to bring forth evidence to show a pattern of hostile and discriminatory activity against him.
