NAACP sues Chavis over settlement money in harassment case
The NAACP sues Benjamin Chavis alleging he used 82,400 of NAACP funds to settle a former assistant's sexual harassment claim without board approval. The suit says Chavis had a personal financial stake and acted without authorization, while Stansel had threatened EEOC action and later claimed the deal was reneged. The organization had fired Chavis and also seeks recovery of the 82,400.

Tim White of UC Berkeley led the discovery, noting the environment and relation to the last human-chimp ancestor. The finding appears in Nature.
