Heading: Woods’s Administrative Filings

Text: Less than two months after CFCA terminated him, Woods contacted the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (“EEOC”). Woods alleged that he was “the only African-American who was laid off in the high school of the academy” and that he was “no less qualified and [had] no less seniority than some who were retained.” Woods pointed out that, as a result of his termination, there were “[n]o African-Americans . . . currently on the high school faculty.” Thereafter, Woods submitted a formal charge of discrimination. In the charge, Woods repeated his earlier allegations and concluded that he “was discriminated against due to [his] race (African-American), in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.” More than a year after Woods filed his charge, on September 27, 2011, he received a right to sue letter from the EEOC.
