Female Engineer Awarded $251K in Washington Discrimination Suit
A jury has awarded a female Vancouver, Wash. engineer $251,100 for her lawsuit against the Clark County Community Development Department.
The Columbian reports that the jury ruled staff at the department defamed and discriminated against Anne Anderson, principal engineer of Anderson Structural Engineering. She filed a lawsuit in 2015 after she said staff subjected her to an arbitrary and higher set of standards when she presented her work.
Anderson said that she’s been an engineer for 30 years and said she’d always been able to overcome any discrimination by working harder, but she said the department required her to perform unnecessary work.
