Sixteen women allege discrimination at FBI training academy in lawsuit
Sixteen women who trained to become FBI agents and analysts have come forward in a lawsuit filed Wednesday accusing the bureau of gender discrimination in how it trains and evaluates female candidates.
The women, seven of whom still work at the FBI, detail incidents where they say they were punished for behavior their male counterparts got away with. They also describe what they say is a male-biased review process, and even overt sexual harassment.
Ten of the former trainees agreed to be interviewed exclusively by NBC News. Five of them asked not to be identified by their full names.
The lawsuit alleges that over 100 women who recently enrolled at the FBI's Basic Field Training Course in Quantico as new agent trainees or new intelligence analyst trainees have encountered some form of gender discrimination, and that the problem is worse for women of color or those with disabilities. It is a proposed class action lawsuit, but the class is not yet certified.
"The FBI has intentionally allowed the Good Old Boy Network to flourish unrestrained at the FBI Academy," alleges the suit.
