Columbia International University President Mark Smith is being
accused of retaliating against an attorney who investigated allegations
that Smith's son sexually harassed women and made racial comments when
the father and son worked together at an Ohio college, according to
federal court documents.
Smith and his son, Doug Smith,
worked at Ohio Christian University when the alleged harassment
occurred. Mark Smith was the college's president. They now both work at
Columbia International, a Christian university in north Columbia, a
spokesman confirmed Tuesday.
The CIU spokesman said
the university conducted full background checks on both Smiths before
they were hired. Mark Smith was hired before the lawsuits were filed.
Jeremy Davitz, the former top
attorney at Ohio Christian, alleges in one federal lawsuit that he was
fired after determining that Doug Smith could no longer work at the
school because of the allegations.
