Muslim Woman reports sexual harassment to school, reported to FBI as terrorist
A black, Muslim woman has sued the University of Bridgeport for allegedly reporting her to the FBI rather than investigating her sexual harassment complaints against a fellow student at the Connecticut school.
Balayla Ahmad, 35, said the school ignored her repeated reports of harassment and instead falsely accused her of being a terrorist because she was an African-American Muslim, according to a federal complaint.
...
Ahmad's problems first began in 2009 when she was a graduate student at Bridgeport's College of Chiropractic, according to the complaint. She said that from February through April of that year she was constantly harassed by a fellow student, who she says made repeated sexual advances at her, often hurling obscenities such as "I want to eat you like I am eating this sub [sandwich]" or yelling "I'm going to cuff you" while holding a pair of handcuffs.
She first reported him in April 2009 to several teachers as well as the provost, none of whom reported the incident to the university's president, Neil Salonen, according to the complaint. After reporting the incident to Salonen, against the urging of some professors, she had a meeting with the college's dean who, according to the complaint, told her that his hands were tied and asked what she suggested he do.
...
Two FBI agents met with Ahmad, the complaint alleges. It was during this meeting that she learned that the fellow student had been spreading rumors that she was a terrorist in retaliation for her complaint against him, according to the complaint.
