The former Dean of St. Bonaventure’s Jandoli School of Communication is suing the University, claiming religious and gender discrimination.
Dr. Pauline Hoffmann claims that university officials discriminated against Hoffmann by denying her a promotion to university provost in 2016 and forcing her to resign as School of Communication dean at the end of 2017 because she is a Wiccan, as well as a woman.
Hoffmann is seeking reinstatement to her former title and workload, repayment of lost wages, and an unspecified amount in damages.
