That same afternoon, a pre-disciplinary meeting was held regarding Complainant. That meeting was reconvened the next morning, then continued to July 28, 1988. The stated reason was inappropriate behavior, disruption of the Wicker Park office and committing acts of assault and battery on the Local Office Administrator. Complainant then filed a charge of discrimination against Respondent. That charge alleged that Complainant was suspended and discharged because of his race, age, sex, and physical and mental handicaps.
Complainant is black and male.
At the time of his discharge, he was fifty-one years old. The charge claimed that Complainant's physical and mental handicap was an anxiety disorder. After it conducted an investigation of Complainant's charge, the Illinois Department of Human Rights filed a complaint on his behalf in this forum. That complaint alleged discrimination on the basis of age, race, sex, a physical handicap, and a mental handicap. The claimed physical handicap was hypertension and the claimed mental handicap was neurosis.
