Ohio university pays out $400,000 to Christian professor 'for violating his First Amendment Rights'

72. Quite a stretch

I bet you know the difference between filing a complaint with a university and filing a complaint in court.

It's a pretty big difference, and I think it's beneath your dignity to pretend that "structurally similar" actually means anything here.

Also, to be punctilious: The student threatened to retain counsel when the university did not respond adequately (in the student's opinion) to the problem. As I'm sure you know, there's a world of difference between "retain counsel" and "threaten to file a lawsuit."

As in, you can retain counsel to act on your behalf vis a vis the university and its administration. That is not, in fact, filing a suit or threatening to.

And let us all remember: The person who actually did file suit was Prof Meriwether.
