Oskey is gay, but he denied it when his boss threatened to fire him if he was, according to the complaint Oskey filed in a state court in Palm Beach County.
But the supervisor soon confronted him with a nine-month-old police report indicating Oskey had been mugged near a gay bar, Oskey's complaint alleges.
The university suspended him immediately, fired him within weeks and upheld the firing without explanation when he appealed it, the complaint says.
University spokeswoman Becky Peeling declined to comment, pointing to the ongoing lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages.
According to Palm Beach County Equal Opportunity Office documents, the university has said Oskey was fired for "computer misconduct and lack of candor with supervisors, unrelated to his sexual orientation."
But Oskey's complaint maintains those were merely pretexts, and county equal-opportunity director Harry L. Lamb Jr. recently found "reasonable grounds to believe [Oskey's] allegation that he was discharged on the basis of his sexual orientation."
