PITTSBURGH,None — A western Pennsylvania woman claims she was forced out of the radiology program at a community college after telling her sister about the odd behavior of a hospital technician she was shadowing -- only to have someone who then heard about her observations through the grapevine post them on Facebook.
Cara Whitney, of South Versailles, says in her lawsuit against the Community College of Allegheny County that she didn't even have a Facebook account at the time. Instead, Whitney says she called her older sister for advice after seeing a radiologist at UPMC McKeesport hospital in January act strangely while on duty.
A CCAC spokesman says the school is still reviewing the federal lawsuit, which accuses administrators of violating Whitney's rights by forcing her to withdraw or to receive a failing grade.
