(CNN) -- A former college professor in upstate New York says he was fired and discriminated against because he is straight.

Dr. Csaba Marosan taught natural Sciences at Trocaire College in Buffalo. He told CNN that he was asked not to return this year because of his formal complaint against the college in 2009.

Marosan alleges that college officials gave preferential treatment to gay faculty members in a small clique dubbed, "the Merry Men."

The college denied the allegations and attributes his dismissal to lack of qualifications. The former professor said he has taught at the college for eight years. the rest
