BOSTON — A pair of Jewish Wheelock College professors have taken the school and its recently retired president to federal court, alleging in an explosive lawsuit filed Thursday that they were subjected to a host of anti-Semitic discrimination measures.
Professors Gail Dines and Eric Silverman in their dual complaints allege that Wheelock's president, Jackie Jenkins-Scott, worked with other administrators to smear their reputations, beginning when Dines and Silverman apparently dared to question why they were not included in a 2014 school-sponsored event dubbed "The Black-Jew Dialogues," a diversity and cultural awareness event.
