he inaugural director of Austin's Civil Rights Office reportedly submitted her resignation this week, several months after multiple city employees filed complaints about alleged workplace mistreatment.
Carol Johnson was originally chosen to be the head of Austin's newly formed Civil Rights Office in January 2021.
The department was created by the city council months earlier to be a "centralized entity to enforce civil rights anti-discrimination ordinance and federal statutes."
She was placed on administrative leave last summer amid allegations of workplace mistreatment and retaliation, then submitted her resignation on Wednesday, according to KXAN.
"Carol was instrumental in establishing the City’s Office of Civil Rights as the first Civil Rights Director," assistant city manager Veronica Briseño wrote in a memo this week, according to the local news outlet. "I want to thank her for her service to our community and this organization."
Thank you for your service. Stank she boon. :lol
The city hired an outside law firm to conduct an investigation, which concluded that her "lack of management and communications skills and disinterest in people and their work activities seems misaligned to fundamentally build any programs to accomplish any goals that may be established," according to the local newspaper.
