WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A former Wichita State University administrative assistant has filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the university of discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Vicki Huntoon says in the lawsuit that she was fired from the university because of her generalized anxiety disorder after two doctors diagnosed the disorder and she requested to work in a quieter department multiple times.

According to the lawsuit, a transfer request recommended by a university selected doctor was denied.

University spokesman Lou Heldman tells the Wichita Eagle that school officials were not yet aware of the lawsuit.
