A former DEI staffer at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire will receive a $265,000 settlement after she sued the school, alleging discrimination for being White.
Rochelle Hoffman, a former employee at UW-Eau Claire, brought the case in 2023 after she was promoted to interim director of the campus's Multicultural Student Services office.
The school's former vice chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Student Affairs, Olga Diaz, was allegedly told by students that a White woman was not fit to preside over a position intended to serve students of color.
"You hired a White woman as the interim director?" one student allegedly said, according to a federal complaint against the university.
According to the complaint, a different student asked, "Do you personally feel White staff can do as effective a job as a person of color, within a space for people of color?"
Hoffman said she felt she had to resign after eight months of intense hostility and staff questioning her "legitimacy" after being promoted to interim director of the campus's Multicultural Student Services office, the complaint states.
In December 2023, Hoffman sued the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
The settlement notes that "any payment made hereunder is not to be construed as an admission of liability on the part of the Released Parties, and that the Released Parties herein deny liability or any wrongdoing and intend merely to avoid litigation and buy their peace."

The school was going to lose federal funding if they had to defend their practices in court.
Read the article. This dopey dame still doesn’t get it. But she got 265K, so she’s got that going for her!
p
“-grounded in data and responsive to a changing workforce —“
Data shows you need a different line of work as deportations ramp up. Seen Los Angeles lately? It’s coming to a Wisconsin town near you.
I read it but I didn't see anything dopey about her. What did I miss?
She settled too quickly. I would’ve held out for MILLIONS - make it REALLY hurt! Make it REALLY OBVIOUS what UW Eau Claire was up to.
Now - investigate all of the OTHER UW Campus DEI operations!
Taxpayers take it in the shorts once again.
Why doesn’t olga get to pay too. She could pay 150 pounds of fat I am guessing.
Could heat the town for a week.
