An educator in Colorado was accused of having COVID-19 and briefly banned from campus. She’s now suing, and says the false accusation was malicious and that the school violated her due process rights by banning her from campus, even temporarily.
The College Fix reported that Celeste Archer, executive director of the National History Day in Colorado program at the University of Colorado-Denver, alleges in her lawsuit that campus administrators denied her the opportunity to prove the accusation wrong and, further, actually aided the person who falsely accused her in their efforts to “harass and intimidate her.” Archer, who has won multiple awards throughout her career, told the Fix she believes the accusation was done for a malicious reason and that she filed the lawsuit in part to determine who made the accusation.
“[T]he school, like the nameless and faceless Authority in Kafka’s novel ‘The Trial,’ didn’t make any effort to respect or even recognize Archer’s due process rights, before rushing to judgment and barring her from campus, effectively punishing her based on an unverified allegation,” the Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), which represents Archer, said in a statement.
Archer says in her lawsuit that the ban from campus came just one week before “National History Day’s signature showcase of the year … for which 500 invitations had been mailed, and 23,000 e-mails had been circulated.”
In response to Archer’s lawsuit, CU Denver Public Relations Manager Sarah Erickson told the Fix that the school’s “No. 1 goal throughout the pandemic has been to keep our campus community safe. We followed our safety protocols and responded with good intent, as we would with any reported positive case of COVID-19 on campus.”

Looks like the educator has now been educated on the Kafka-esque crap she’s been teaching herself.
“No. 1 goal throughout the pandemic has been to keep our campus community safe. We followed our safety protocols and responded with good intent, as we would with any reported positive case of COVID-19 on campus.”
So if they received a crank call saying that the entire faculty had Covid, would they shut them all out? Those would be “reported positive cases”, after all.
I guess HIPAA can be waived at any time.
That has been a constant since at least 2008.
“We followed our safety protocols and responded with good intent,.....”
Translation: We didn’t MEAN any harm so how can we be guilty of anything?
Any of them from a jury? :D
Poor baby!
(She’s now suing)
Good. Sue all of them.
I hope her lawyer cleans them out.
They couldn’t just let her take a covid test? Don’t they have testing sites on campus already? A mere accusation is enough to ban someone? She was Kavanaughed!
I don’t know if suing is the right answer but what the heck. Why not grab some cash? Maybe she is on to something and they wanted her to not appear at the event she planned, so they made up some stupid policy.
She was lucky—they could have burned her as a witch!
No one should be able to force you to get dangerous medicine.
Email today.
We strongly encourage all employees to be vaccinated. The way to keep ourselves, families and co-workers safe is to be vaccinated.
Additional protocols to foster safety will be put in place for any employee not vaccinated and who is working in an operating center. These protocols, as outlined by the CDC, will be required for unvaccinated employees including those with antibodies:
Required to test weekly at employee’s costs <—— they are forcing you to kill yourself
Required to wear masks in common areas <-— Whitehouse spokesman Jen was wearing 2 masks and was vaccinated and a booster or two. She now says he is infected.
Required to social distance in common areas <-— never mind the stupidity of that or the air circulation thru out the building where you can smell popcorn in the microwave on the other side of a multi story building.
If someone dies from the vaccination the company will not care one iota. They get to hire someone new at a lower wage.
I am very happy I will retire soon.
What does HIPAA have to do with this case?
