Dr. Pat Washington was hired in the Women's Studies Dept at San Diego State University in 1996, denied tenure in 2002 and then fired in 2003. The EEOC recommended that she be granted tenure, but SDSU is fighting that outcome in court. Dr. Washington and her partner Maggie Allington discuss education, research, academia and Pat's tenure battle.
Dr. Pat Washington is a world renowned women's studies scholar and activist. Her work has included studies of social factors in the availability of services for survivors of sexual violence, oppression within minority communities and stategies for resistance. She is the education secretary of the San Diego chapter of the NAACP and has engaged in wide ranging activism in pursuit of social and economic justice and queer rights. Despite winning three outstanding teaching awards, she was denied tenure at SDSU in 2002 because of retaliation against Pat for standing up for students and discrimination, according to the EEOC, and fired in 2003.
