Barrister Lynette Petruska, who works at Chet Pleban's law firm, is a former nun who once served as chaplain at Gannon University in Erie, PA. That's where she says she experienced injustice and discrimination after opposing sexual harassment and other sexual misconduct committed by priests at the school. Last year, in cooperation with a lay Catholic reform group, The Voice of the Faithful (VOTE.org), Petruska set up the Emily and Rosemary Fund to "support women working in the Catholic Church who face financial hardship as a result of discrimination and injustice in the church." This week, through her fund, she has donated $20,000 to two women who say they were ousted from their positions at Jesuit universities in New York and Texas because of discrimination.
