CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - A University of Wyoming employee who was fired and then rehired says the termination was an act of retaliation.

KTWO-AM reports (https://bit.ly/2nDL5yD ) that Mandy Davis has filed a lawsuit claiming the elimination of her position as human resources manager for the foundation was an unlawful ploy.

In July 2015, Davis filed a complaint against two higher-ranking officials with the UW Office of Diversity and Employment Practices, claiming they had made comments about an employee with a physical disability. She expressed fear she would lose her job for reporting their comments.

On Dec. 1, 2015, Davis was told her position, along with three others, was being eliminated through a reorganization. She was re-hired in March 2016.

The UW Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.
