DOJ Settles With Kansas Community College to Enforce Rights of Servicemember

The Justice Department announced it has reached a settlement with the Kansas City Kansas Community College (KCKCC) to enforce the rights guaranteed to Kansas Army National Guard Major Stephen W. Terry by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).

The settlement agreement resolves Major Terry’s claim that KCKCC violated USERRA when it terminated Major Terry’s employment as the Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Services at KCKCC following his return from military service.

It includes the payment of lost wages to Major Terry and a requirement that KCKCC provide training to KCKCC management and human resources staff regarding servicemembers’ rights and employers’ responsibilities under USERRA.
