In documents obtained from the Human Rights Bureau of the NM Department of Workforce Solutions, three more claims of alleged sexual and race discrimination have been uncovered. In addition, a claim was filed for alleged retribution because a staff member supported a claim for sexual discrimination by another employee. Here are excerpts:
