Inside Higher Ed:
The U.S. Supreme Court, on the first day of its new term, let stand a Louisiana court’s ruling that Louisiana State University did not engage in racial discrimination when it fired its former women’s track coach, Loren Seagrave, in 1990. A lower court had found discrimination and ordered LSU to pay Seagrave $773,000. But the appeals panel — in a ruling that the Louisiana Supreme Court let stand — ruled last year that the alleged comments by a former athletics director that Seagrave cited to prove he had been discriminated against for being married to a black woman were too out of date to have been used as evidence of discrimination.
