The former Detroit Public Schools superintendent filed a whistle- blower lawsuit Thursday against top school officials and the school board, alleging she suffered discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.

The lawsuit filed by Teresa Gueyser says she was fired in retaliation for her refusal to comply with sexual advances and a hostile work environment.

In it, Robert Bobb, the state-appointed DPS emergency financial manager, is accused of having surveillance equipment planted in Gueyser’s office, stripping her of authority and making DPS “a cesspool of dysfunction, male-dominated cronyism, ego-driven, divisive and unlawful power grabs and gender-based harassment and discrimination.”

“We’ll defend ourselves vigorously against all the claims,” DPS spokesman Steve Wasko said.

School board president Anthony Adams is accused of contributing to the hostile environment by requesting that Gueyser not file a report against former school board president Otis Mathis III. Mathis repeatedly sexually harassed Gueyser, including touching her knee and buttocks, according to the lawsuit.

“I will reserve comment until I have had the opportunity to review it,” Adams said of the lawsuit.

On Friday, Mathis had intended to plead guilty to a felony charge of misconduct in office, having been accused of fondling himself in a meeting with Gueyser. Upon hearing about Gueyser’s lawsuit, he changed his plea to no contest.

Mathis told the court that he had a rash in his genital area after having suffered bladder cancer and was rubbing cream onto himself while in the meeting with Gueyser on June 16.

He is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 26. He declined to comment on Gueyser’s suit.

Last year, Gueyser sent a letter to the governor “blowing the whistle” on Bobb, who “set out to create a hostile work environment,” according to the lawsuit. Also, within hours of notification that Mathis was being prosecuted for the June 16 incident, Bobb sent Gueyser a letter stating that her contract was not going to be renewed, the lawsuit stated.

Gueyser’s employment contract ended June 30.

Gueyser is requesting compensation in excess of $25,000 and a trial by jury.
