When she returned to campus after her public service, Bailey says she faced political discrimination from administrators, whom a review committee found had engaged in “systematic failure to follow university policy†regarding Bailey. It resulted in her also losing paid gigs she put on hold for public service.
Bailey filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the taxpayer-funded institution, as well as its provost, dean, department and assistant department heads, News 9 reports. The officials were in charge of her promotion request when Bailey returned.
It's time for legislators and - if necessary, voters - to put their foot down and de-fund discriminatory institutions like this.
