"Chaze said he was appreciative of the jury’s hard work on a complicated legal issue.
“I am absolutely thrilled with the jury’s verdict,” he said. “The right to speak out about wrongdoing is one of the most precious rights we have as Americans."

The next "tort reform" campaign will undoubtedly be to say that universities can't possibly be held responsible for their actions. Mississippi will lead the fight nationally with Shelby and Haley becoming "world class" advocates of taking away more civil rights in America.

Seriously, this is a good sign for the numerous other law suits pending against the craziness at USM. Now, how do we get the USM Administration to treat people properly in the first place, thus avoiding lawsuits??? Impossible.

Publicly support the AA/EEOC officer and strengthen that office?

Oops forgot...AA/EEOC officer's job eliminated and office downsized instead.
