OHSU settles class action lawsuit; commitment to ongoing improvement will not waver
OHSU logo
OHSU leaders have decided to settle a class action lawsuit filed in 2021 that alleged OHSU violated anti-discrimination laws by disproportionately disciplining people of color over their white counterparts. This settlement was reached because neither party felt that continuing to pursue this suit was a productive use of time or resources, and both parties acknowledge that OHSU has made significant structural and financial investments in Human Resources since the time period at issue in this lawsuit.
OHSU is deeply committed to our people, and to our priorities around equity and inclusion, and will continue to invest in our processes, guidelines and policies to support them.
