University settles lawsuit over witch's firing

[icymist]

A woman who sued the University of Nebraska last year saying the school fired her because she is a witch has agreed to settle the case for $40,000.

A letter from the woman's attorney confirms the settlement -- $10,000 of which will go toward attorneys fees and legal costs.

1. That seems a very low amount to seattle for.....

after all it was her life and livelihood they were messing with.

2. She probably got lost wages

She was fired in 2007 and may have been hired fairly quickly.
It doesn't matter that they were messing with her livelihood. If she landed on her feet, she's basically only going to get lost wages and benefits at the settlement stage. She'd have to go to trial to recover anything for her emotional distress.
