DEDHAM — A longtime administrator at Massachusetts Bay Community College claims his job was slashed due to age discrimination, court documents show. O'Connor, 60, of Belmont, was the assistant dean of science, technology, engineering and mathematics until he was dismissed on June 15, 2020. In one example, he cited in the lawsuit, two other administrators were promoted from director to assistant dean — O'Connor's level. Around February 2020, O'Connor applied for intermittent Family and Medical Leave Act leave to care for a family member. Then, after a stint in the Nuclear Command and Control Program for the United States Air Force, he returned to MassBay in 2015 as an assistant dean of STEM.
