Report: Orthodontics professor disparaged resident doctors
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}University of Connecticut documents accuse a prominent, now-retired orthodontics professor of subjecting Muslim and Arab resident doctors to disparaging remarks about their nationalities and retaliating against them for cooperating with an inquiry into his conduct.
A 2016 report obtained by The Associated Press recommended that UConn Health officials consider disciplining Dr. Ravindra Nanda, a native of what is now Pakistan. The report was by an investigator with UConn Health's Office of Institutional Equity.
Nanda retired last fall, more than a year after the report was issued.

The report says Nanda denied the allegations.
Nanda's lawyer says Nanda appealed the report's findings and there was a confidential resolution.
