Three former officers with the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety are suing the UI and several administrators for allegedly enabling “a culture of discrimination” within its law enforcement ranks, reports the Cedar Rapids Gazette. The lawsuit accuses Public Safety Director Scott Beckner of treating “younger, white male employees more favorably,” also listing Associate Director David Visin and Senior Vice President of Finance and Operations Rod Lehnertz in the lawsuit.
