Court Upholds Bias Ruling Against Black College, But Rejects Finding on Free Speech.

Haworth, Karla

Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n29 pA14 Mar 28 1997

A federal appeals court agreed that Texas Southern University, a historically black institution, had discriminated against three white law professors by reducing their pay raises for criticizing an administrator. Black faculty received higher pay raises. However, the court rejected the professors' claim that their free speech had been infringed upon. (MSE)
