LAF Luncheon Attendees Hear Henley's Horror Story

Posted At : January 31, 2010 12:37 PM

Approximately 75 attendees listened intently Saturday as Michelle Jaureguito Henley related the horrific details of the unjust treatment she and her two co-plaintiffs received from the administration and trustees of Feather River Community College. At times overcome with emotion, even though the case began nearly five years ago, Henley slowly and deliberately revealed the events of her story.

After being unjustly accused of participating in and condoning the bad behavior of her staff member, Henley lost her career, her credibility in the community and her marriage. She spoke of the many times she had felt like just giving up and walking away from the fight, but each time she was spurred on by the encouragement of her co-plaintiffs and by AAUW members who have heard her story and offered their support.
