        "text": "Raucci, J.\nThis claim is before the Court of Claims following the filing of a joint stipulation whereby the parties agreed as follows:\nRespondent Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities is a body corporate and politic and an agency of the State of Illinois. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 144, par. 1001 et seq.\nThe claim in this cause is made against Respondent in its capacity as an agency of the State of Illinois and is brought under sections 8(a) and (b) of the Court of Claims Act. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 127, par. 439.1 et seq.\nThe claim in this cause is not made under \u201cAn Act to Provide for Representation and Indemnification, etc.\u201d Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 127, par. 1301 et seq.\nClaimant, Christine Miller, was employed by the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities as an Assistant Professor of Marketing at Chicago State University.\nChicago State University is an institution of higher education established by the State of Illinois; operated, managed, controlled and maintained by the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities, the Respondent. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 14, par. 1101 et seq. and par. 1001 et seq.\nDuring her employment as an assistant professor of accounting at Chicago State University, Claimant Christine Miller was allegedly discriminated against by reason of her sex in violation of Federal statutory and constitutional rights and prohibitions.\nAs a result of the alleged discrimination, Claimant Christine Miller filed a grievance against the Board of Governors pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement and filed charges with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Illinois Human Rights Commission.\nAfter thorough investigation and careful consideration of the evidence and arguments in front of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Board of Governors determined that a settlement of the claim was in the best interest of all concerned. Therefore, a settlement agreement was entered into by and between the Claimant, Christine Miller, and the respondent, the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities. A copy of that agreement is attached to the complaint filed in this matter.\nAmong other things, said settlement provides for payment of $35,998.65 to Claimant Christine Miller in full and complete resolution of all claims arising out of the alleged discrimination.\nWe find that the payment provided for in said settlement agreement should be made and an award of said sum should be made by this Court.\nIt is therefore ordered that Claimant Christine Miller be, and hereby is, awarded the sum of thirty-five thousand, nine hundred ninety-eight dollars and 65/100 ($35,998.65).",
