The former director of recruiting for the University of Hawai‘i’s football program claims she faced discrimination from her bosses and coworkers after revealing she had been diagnosed with narcolepsy, even though she never fell asleep on the job, according to a federal civil rights lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
However, Ella Devenny says in her complaint that she routinely saw male colleagues sleeping during meetings, travel, and other team-related activities without ever facing “comparable scrutiny, criticism, or disability-related assumptions.”
