Yet Another Former Employee Sues Collin College Over Disability Discrimination, Retaliation
illustration by Sarah SchumacherLast week, Randy Jackson, who served as an associate dean of academics at Collin College, filed a lawsuit against the school. He alleges that he was denied reasonable accommodations amid the pandemic in violation of Texas labor laws.
Starting in mid-March 2020, all Collin College staff worked remotely because of the pandemic, according to the filing.
