Tracey A. Lee vs. UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center
Tracey A. Lee continues to assist in UC Audits of personnel and accounting
records documenting inequitable treatment of females recruited compared to
males. This whistleblower is also working with an outside investigator to
further expose the Enron-like "special bonus payments" given to
male‹but not female‹academic recruits by using falsified documents and bogus
invoices.
A petition is under consideration by the San Francisco Federal Judge
(Martin J. Jenkins) to enjoin Lee´s civil case against the UCSF School
of Medicine with another. This would serve to unite these voices on behalf
of black women, while seeking the federal government´s involvement
in enforcing gender equity for all females in the School.
Lee has received much positive feedback regarding efforts to expand her case
into a class-action suit. Such a suit is already pending in San Francisco
Federal Court against UCSF. Each case seeks to increase the exposure of the
"brutal, sexist system" at UCSF that continues to succeed in denying
gender equity for female faculty, academic, and staff employees.
Lee´s federal civil case against the UCSF School of Medicine Cancer
Center is scheduled for an October 28, 2002 hearing which is expected by
the Court to last a minimum of 10 days. This case will expose the escalated
retaliation that Lee, the Center´s Recruitment Officer, suffered after
she formally complained about illegal signing bonuses paid to male recruits
by using falsified documents and bogus invoices. Subpoenaed records from
Internal Audits at UCSF fully substantiate that female faculty members hired
were awarded drastically smaller start-up packages, appointed at lower ranks,
and far less salary than male faculty recruits.
