A racial discrimination lawsuit filed by a UCLA head and neck surgeon against the UC Board of Regents last month has garnered widespread attention in recent weeks.
Dr. Christian Head filed the complaint in April, alleging that the university failed to prevent discrimination, harassment, retaliation and infliction of intentional emotional distress.
Head hopes to put an end to what he feels is ongoing retribution and a hostile work environment at the university, said Peter Brown, a spokesman from the Foley Lyman Law Group, which is representing Head. The complaint calls for a jury trial.
Chancellor Gene Block said in a statement Tuesday that the university investigated the claims but was unable to substantiate them. He added that Head was given the information necessary to turn to internal procedures or directly to the legal system.
“Such a choice (to go through the legal system) does not mean that UCLA administrators failed to act on this person’s behalf or that UCLA failed to respond,” Block said in the statement.

In one part of the video, Head describes a slideshow at a 2006 event sponsored by the UCLA Medical Center.
“The final slide was a photo … of a gorilla on all fours, with my head Photoshopped onto the gorilla, with a smile on my face, and a Caucasian man – completely naked – sodomizing me from behind, and my boss’s head Photoshopped on the person, smiling,” Head said in the video.
He said in the video that he confronted his boss, Dr. Gerald Berke, and reported the event to UCLA officials. Officials then ignored his request for appropriate action, he said.
According to the complaint, no apology has been issued to Head regarding the gorilla slide. The university has failed to locate the gorilla slide or even confirm that it exists, Brown said.

Directed to Mr. Peter Brown's statement in the Bruin that "especially in the black community" there is concern. I signed this petition the first day. I am white and middle aged. Good Americans are against discrimination regardless where it comes from or whom it is directed to....please don't make it sound other wise.
