The plaintiff, a white man, claimed that the company fired him without notice just to replace him with a white woman and a Black woman, for diversity's sake.

A jury has ordered Novant Health Inc., a North Carolina-based not-for-profit health system, to pay $10 million to a white man who said the company wrongly fired him. The company replaced him with a white woman and a Black woman as a way to increase racial and gender diversity at the workplace, he said.

On August 5, 2013, Novant Health Inc. hired David Duvall to serve as the company's senior vice president of marketing and communications. Then, on July 30, 2018, the company fired him without warning, he said in court documents.
