Medgar Evers College Hit with 2nd Sexual Harassment Lawsuit as Dean Gale Gibson Accuses Provost Dr. Howard C. Johnson of Nasty Jokes

Medgar Evers College dean Gale Gibson accuses Provost Dr. Howard C. Johnson of sexual harassment in second lawsuit filed against the school over e-mail calling her, colleague Zulema Blair & other female staffers "sluts" & "whores."

More drama at Medgar Evers College: Freshman Studies Dean Gale Gibson has accused provost Dr. Howard C. Johnson of sexual harassment. She said Johnson made nasty jokes questioning the paternity of her child -- comments that were repeated in a vicious e-mail that described her and other female staffers as “sluts” and “whores.” You will recall Zulema Blair filed a lawsuit requesting the identity of the person who sent the email be revealed by Yahoo.
“It’s horrific, it’s horrible,” Gibson told The Post. “It was disturbing because I was seven months pregnant. I felt like these people were trying to make me lose my baby!” Gibson filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last March, claiming Johnson said he was “waiting to see exactly who the baby [Gibson] was carrying at the time would look like... the implication being that I am an unchaste woman.” Gibson said the nasty baby comment was repeated in an e-mail sent last December.

Medgar Evers just rolled over in his grave at the hot mess that is playing out at the college which bears his name. Claude Celestine, 32, the then-college student named in the email, who now works for State Assemblyman Karim Camarra (D-Brooklyn) told the NY Post that he denied ever being romantically involved with Blair and plans to take legal action against the college as well.
