This is the way ........
These universities and media institutions (like NPR) with 80% to 90% Democrats have ridden rough shod over conservatives for far too long.
The way the universities handled the Hamas demonstrations which intimidated Jewish students should also result in litigation against the universities.

Conservative professor reaches multimillion-dollar settlement after free speech lawsuit
By Kristine Parks, Fox News Published Aug. 13, 2024, 12:51 p.m. ETA California community college district agreed to pay $2.4 million to a conservative professor in a recent settlement agreement after years of legal battles between the two parties.
"After five years of administrative misconduct, a decisive courtroom display exonerated me of all allegations and exposed that Kern Community College District engaged in flagrant retaliation for my questioning of partisan policies and wasteful expenditures," Matthew Garrett reacted in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Facing an imminent ruling in my favor and the prospect of paying millions of dollars in damages, KCCD had only one viable option: settlement."
Garrett, previously a tenured history professor at Bakersfield College in Southern California, filed a federal lawsuit against the Kern Community College District (KCCD) in 2021. In the lawsuit, Garrett claimed school officials retaliated against him and a colleague for questioning if grant money was being improperly used to fund social justice initiatives on campus.
Garrett also claimed that he and other faculty members of a free speech coalition on campus were targeted with false allegations after they asked questions during a campus diversity meeting in October 2022. ....

I'm glad for this guy. The left has had a stranglehold on political speech in academia for far too long. I wish this more conservative faculty members would be emboldened and this would start happening at Universities all over the country.

But colleges and universities will continue to do what they've been doing for decades. Nothing happens to the decision makers. When people who actually have to face the consequences personally, this type of crap will stop.

This. I'm glad the school suffered this embarrassment, but Big Education will just take it out on the students by raising tuition which will then be covered by a student loan paid for by Joe Biden or some other socialists which will then be paid for by the taxpayer by either direct funding or via the printing press and inflation.
Joke's on us. The guilty never pay when there is a leftist institution involved.

Too cynical. This is a victory for conservatives. I'm not going to focus on any hypothetical dark linings on this silver cloud.

Unfortunately this win is like hitting an aircraft carrier with a BB gun. The cards are definitely stacked against conservative professors on campuses across the US just because of the sheer volume of liberal, socialist and Marxist faculty members on college campuses. I hope the tide does turn however.
