Anti-Muslim Bias Case Gets Hearing

Inside Higher Ed: Anti-Muslim Bias Case Gets Hearing

In many bias cases, allegations involving remarks can come down to a “he said/she said” dispute — with no certainty about what was said.

In an unusual case that went to trial Monday, a judge found that depositions by a one-time dean constituted an admission that he had made comments like those alleged in the complaint by a professor who was ousted as a department chair — despite backing from his department. The judge’s ruling in fact was part of why he rejected a request by La Salle University to dismiss the case.
