Instead, Rogers said, she was forced to resign after expressing concerns."
"Rogers and Clare Weber, the former vice provost of the Palm Desert campus, sued the system and two San Bernardino officials in 2023. Weber alleged in the lawsuit that she was fired after expressing concerns about her low pay compared to male counterparts with similar duties. That lawsuit was later split, and Weber's case is reportedly expected to go to trial next year."
