A former medical student at California Health Sciences University in Clovis has filed a lawsuit seeking a public apology and reinstatement after he was dismissed for making racist and discriminatory comments.

Nicholas Sciaroni claims in the December 13 suit filed in Fresno County Superior Court that the university violated his First Amendment rights. The documents also outline a timeline of the university’s investigation into Sciaroni’s comments, made both in class and online, in an attempt to disqualify the investigator and hearing officer that eventually resulted in his dismissal.

According to the Fresno Bee, aside from an apology and reinstatement, Sciaroni also seeks a judgment declaring that the First Amendment protects his beliefs; asks the university to withdraw the complaint, which resulted in his dismissal; free speech training for the university’s employees; and compensation for attorney fees.

One classmate accused Sciaroni of saying, “This country is going to turn into a third world shit hole full of mud houses because of immigrants.”

The university’s investigation found that Sciaroni admitted to encouraging classmates to look up the phrase “White family,” but denied referencing a Jewish conspiracy theory. Another witness alleged Sciaroni making anti-semetic referencing to Jewish people owning all of Hollywood.

University officials declined to comment to the Bee, citing student privacy laws.

At least two classmates have accused Sciaroni of claiming he would no longer watch the NFL because they were hiring too many Black coaches. One classmate said Sciaroni posted on Instagram the word, “Nicker,” which they found was too similar to the n-word. During a class discussion about assisting Black mothers with infants, Sciaroni allegedly asked aloud about an organization for white infants.

Additionally, the letter also states that complaints were made alleging Sciaroni approached students of color at Fresno State, questioning them about their immigration status and making false claims about hijabs to the Fresno State Muslim Student Asssociation.

Sciaroni’s lawsuit claims that the university violated education laws for dismissing him for the comments, which he argues are protected speech.
