What a sad situation. Although I'm sure that Mr. Shelton is happy to get back pay, it's a real losing situation for everyone involved.
When Mr. Shelton reported to his supervisor that he felt there was a problem, his supervisor just totally side-stepped his management responsiblity. When anyone tells you that they believe that a situation constitutes a "hostile work environment" that obligates a manager to do something immediately, and if a manager fails to act, he should be subject to termination. The college President should have brought in an outside mediator, if no one internally felt that they could defuse the situation.

I have questions in my own mind about whether Mr. Shelton is likely as innocent as it appears, but obviously a jury believed his case. I hope the leadership of the college is now involved and taking steps to get the situation corrected. A black woman saying that "Black people don't like white people" tells me that there is a lot of distrust in that work environment. How can any of them do an effective job (that they are being paid to do) with that much distrust?

Discrimination does not just flow one way, and it should never be tolerated. It never gets any better on its own.
