Evergreen professor receives $500,000 in settlement.
https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktake...settlement

Quote:Evergreen State College has settled a lawsuit brought against it by the professor who was at the center of protests that rocked the campus in May.
As part of the settlement, Bret Weinstein and his wife, Heather Heying, resigned from their faculty positions effective Friday, The Seattle Times reported.
Students were protesting racism on campus, although Brett Weinstein, the professor who they called to be fired, filed his $3.85 million suit on the grounds of "hostility based on race," alleging that the college "permitted, cultivated, and perpetuated a racially hostile and retaliatory work environment.... Through a series of decisions made at the highest levels, including to officially support a day of racial segregation, the college has refused to protect its employees from repeated provocative and corrosive verbal and written hostility based on race, as well as threats of physical violence."

Lets hope that this is a reality check to universities that letting the inmates run the asylum is going to end badly for them.

I suspect they will get burned worse than Missouri.

Turns out telling races of people that their presence on campus was prohibited was a bad idea.

Wonder if there are any history courses that might have taught them that?
