YORK COUNTY, S.C. — A former Winthrop University employee has accused the school of firing her in retaliation for filing a federal discrimination complaint.
Amy Bailey shared her report to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with the Charlotte Observer.
She claimed a supervisor used a racial slur multiple times during a casual conversation.
However, Winthrop denies any wrongdoing. The university told the Observer that Bailey was dismissed for misconduct.
