Louisiana Court Upholds LSU Professor's Suspension for Inappropriate Classroom Remarks

News summary

A Louisiana appeals court upheld the suspension of LSU law professor Ken Levy, who was penalized for using vulgar language regarding Gov. Jeff Landry and former President Trump during a constitutional law class. The court's decision reversed a lower judge's order to reinstate Levy, emphasizing that a full evidentiary hearing is necessary before any reinstatement can occur. Levy's attorney praised the court for maintaining parts of a restraining order that protects Levy's rights against retaliation by LSU, while the university's attorney dismissed the order as unnecessary. LSU contends that Levy's remarks created a classroom environment that was demeaning to students with differing political views. The legal battle continues, with a hearing scheduled for February 10 to further discuss the case. Levy argues that his suspension infringes upon his academic freedom and free speech rights.
