For 13 years, Linda Lopez worked in the school's advancement department which deals in fundraising. In the complaint, Lopez's lawyer writes "TCU has been permeated with an ethic of white elitism that has long discouraged the equal participation of Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and other racial minorities."
Last year, Lopez was told she was being laid off due to budget cuts. She is seeking money for lost wages, mental anguish, and other damages.
The university is offering no public comment.
