CU-Denver graduate student claims she was sexually discriminated against at an internship
Jennifer Anne Blair is suing CU-Denver through its Board of Regents and the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Colorado (KFHP) for sexual and age discrimination.
Blair, a post-operative transsexual female, alleges unfair and unequal treatment during her time as a student in CU’s clinical psychology masters program.
Blair, 55, enrolled in the masters program at CU-Denver Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC) in the fall of 2004.
She completed her coursework for the program in May 2005 with a 4.0 grade point average.
In the summer of 2005, Blair began a UCDHSC required internship with Kaiser and claims she has been subject to “sex stereotyping, age discrimination and unlawful retaliation for complaining about discrimination.”
Blair described the environment at KFHP as hostile and said the sexual discrimination began shortly after she began her internship.
