A jury has awarded more than $7 million in damages to a former University of California policeman who claimed he was illegally fired because he is Black. Former UC Santa Cruz Police Department Lt. Glenn Harper — who had previously worked as an officer in the San Jose Police Department — sued the UC Regents in 2019, alleging that his race “was a substantial motivating reason” for his 2017 termination. On Tuesday in Alameda County Superior Court, a jury took three hours to return a unanimous verdict in favor of Harper and award him $7.2 million in damages. Related Articles...
