SAN ANTONIO -- An instructor at St. Philip's College is making claims of racism and discrimination after he said he was called offensive names and campus administrators have failed to act.Rayford Richardson said when he was approached to teach one of the automotive classes at the college, he was happy to accept since he runs his own auto repair business and restores old vehicles as a hobby.Richardson said the racist remarks from fellow instructors came quickly and often, including a remark made to him by another instructor in front of Richardson's students.
"I've had one of the directors of the Diesel department say I will never fit in because of the "good old boys" system at the main campus," he said.Richardson said he spoke with campus officials, but he said he has not seen any action. He said he is searching for an attorney for legal advice.A request for comment from a college representative was acknowledged, but as of yet, the representative has not returned additional calls.
