Ex-University of Hawai'i Recruiter Sues, Citing Narcolepsy and Gender Discrimination

Ella Devenny, former director of recruiting for the University of Hawai'i's football program, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging discrimination based on her narcolepsy diagnosis and gender. She claims she faced increased scrutiny and was ultimately fired after disclosing her condition, while male colleagues sleeping on the job faced no comparable consequences.
