COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The former director of campus housing at Ohio State University says he was forced to resign over his handling of racist letters mailed to students.
Steven Kremer's lawsuit also says the university slandered him by making false and negative comments about his job performance.
Kremer says Ohio State's former student affairs director wanted to delay delivery of a batch of racist letters sent to students in April 2007.
Kremer says delaying the mail would have violated federal law and that university lawyers had previously said the school couldn't halt delivery of such mail.
Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch said the university is reviewing the lawsuits.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency in North Dakota fired an agency intern last year for sending the letters to students at Ohio State, the University of Notre Dame and the University of Rhode Island.
