(Former) Administrative Assistant @ University

I was physically and mentally assaulted by my Center Director at University on multiple occasions. After each incident, I called the police. The Director even got into an altercation with the police the 2nd time, which I managed to film. Even though I had been reporting various incidents, ongoing discrimination and bullying within his center for over a year to HR, leading to the assaults, HR only responded when I got the police involved. Rather than dealing with a perpetrator, they coerced me to take administrative leave and told me that they couldn’t have me keep calling the police. University has their own police department and they refused to release (to me or my attorney) the police report I filed. HR did an “investigation” which falsely accused me of lying about the incident. I was a dedicated employee with a good record and no write ups. University victim blamed and shamed. The directors colleagues made up the deciding panel and went along with the selective story told by the University HR “investigator”. They then went on to open a second investigation stating that I broke company policy by making a false claim; which I did not. That investigation led to my termination.
