A former University of Michigan Health System hospital administrator says she was fired for submitting an internal report showing her coworkers were more likely to call security officers when dealing with black patients or visitors than white ones, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The report is the focus of a lawsuit against the system.
Carmen Green filed a civil lawsuit against the University of Michigan Health System alleging she was fired as an act of retaliation for her report’s preliminary findings.
According to Green's study, black patients and visitors accounted for 11.96 percent of the patient population but were responsible for 26.88 percent of the calls for security officers.
