That is what I get for assuming that we’d be executed with this by now. After a court docket simply ordered LSU to reinstate legislation professor Ken Levy citing his free speech and due course of rights, LSU continued its technique of interesting selections that aren’t in its favor. As a result of why repair what ain’t damaged?
The Advocate has protection:
A state appeals court docket has halted a decrease court docket’s ruling requiring LSU to return a tenured legislation professor to his instructing duties after the college suspended him from the classroom in January.
The order from the Louisiana 1st Circuit Courtroom of Attraction got here Thursday, simply two days after state district Decide Tarvald Smith late Tuesday evening signed off on a preliminary injunction barring LSU from interfering with Professor Ken Levy’s employment.
A lot for that prolonged hypo I wrote up yesterday. Talking of hypos — for some purpose Ken Levy’s 2022 examination questions acquired thrown in to the fray. Jeff Landry, Louisiana’s present governor, described Levy’s hypos from the examination as “deranged” and “disgusting”. No shit — Levy taught a Crim legislation course. Did you anticipate his inquiries to revolve round fireworks, trains, and jurisdictional points? I used to be keen to chop Landry some slack; its not like Louisiana requires governors to have a authorized coaching. Factor is, Landry does. He acquired his JD from Loyola College New Orleans Faculty of Regulation over twenty years in the past and the reminiscence will get fuzzy, however no legal professional ought to make it appear to the non-practicing public that Levy’s examination questions had been out of the odd.
Positive, one in every of Levy’s hypo questions concerned a Republican who was a suspected pedophile who recorded kids dancing bare, however hypos typically imitate life! Perhaps Levy was impressed by Ben Gibson, a Louisiana republican that ran in opposition to Mike Johnson. He was arrested and charged with 4 counts of pornography involving juveniles in 2020. It isn’t that a lot of a stretch to guess Levy modified a few names and factual parts to make the hypo.
With out understanding the 4-D chess strikes LSU’s authorized staff is making behind the scenes, all of this forwards and backwards simply seems to be like a waste of cash. Authorized charges apart — and that’s an enormous apart — Prof. Levy remains to be getting his test whether or not or not he’s within the classroom.
