Working in John Wayne Country: Racist and Sexist Termination at a Pacific Northwest University
Galvan, Robert Free
American Indian Quarterly, v27 n1-2 p189-195 Win-Spr 2003
In this article, the author shares his experiences in working as a tribal liaison consultant to an AIDS education and training center at a Pacific Northwest university's health education research center. The author's experience shows the concerted efforts by the university lawyers to bury issues of discriminatory racism and sexism in hiring practices and in work environments. It condones chastising for whistle-blowing on issues of gender, gay issues, and racial inequality. The author exposes practices that reduce efforts to provide the best care possible for communities and describes how racist and sexist motivations dominate and are condoned at the work environments of the university.
