MOUNT LAUREL — A former student is claiming in a lawsuit that the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey discriminated against him for discussing his background.
Paulo Serodio claims in the lawsuit that he was harassed, his car was vandalized and he was eventually suspended from New Jersey Medical School. He said the trouble began during a cultural diversity class in 2006 when he identified himself as “white, African, American.”
The light-skinned Serodio was born in Mozambique but later became a U.S. citizen.
But he said his description offended some black classmates and staff members and that he was eventually suspended for conduct unbecoming.
