The University of Texas-Austin has a Center for Women in Law, meant to promote female students looking to enter the legal profession, but now a former intern for the center claimed that she left her internship at the center due to a hostile work environment. Specifically, the former intern accused the center for being a place where white women preferred white female colleagues doing projects and assignments.

The university said it will look into the student’s allegations.
