I used to represent large franchisors in cases to terminate franchises. Some of the food safety issues were absolutely horrifying.

Depends on the state, but I’ve argued successfully that even in the face of a law or rule that says “X is discretionary,” the fact that everyone treated X as mandatory creates a constructive policy or guideline. More of an equitable argument.

It’s so convenient when you just know who wrote a post without even opening the post so it’s easier to ignore.

Who is going to do this based on the EO? The statute of limitations is 5 or 6 years, depending on violation type. Trump won’t be president then.

This is not a buyout. It’s an opportunity to keep working but not have to come into the office. Read the email. There is no severance.

This isn’t a buyout. It says you can continue working until a deferred resignation date. There is no promise of payment through September.

I’ve hit this and our IT did some testing and said that the issue was that the PDF wasn’t flattened, so ECF was viewing the doc as malicious. So printing to pdf or flattening within the software was the answer. Since we implemented that step to our filing procedure we haven’t hit the error.

It is what it is. It was a conservative state; the University System was going to lose eventually. But like I mentioned, I had even been a member earlier in life. So it was disappointing and I lost a lot of respect for FIRE as a result.

…in 2021 Joe Cohn (who wasn’t involved in 2019 to my knowledge) told legislators that we had refused to work with FIRE to adopt a free speech policy FIRE could support. Several legislators told me that was the reason they changed their voted to impose FIRE’S preferred language.

This was specifically during the 2019 and 2021 legislative sessions. FIRE advocated in 2019 for the legislature to adopt specific campus free speech policy language. When the legislature declined, we tried to work with the FIRE team to work out a policy - they never responded. Then… 1/2

Individually, I wouldn’t have minded too much, as every lobbyist group plays with the truth a bit. But there was pretty comprehensive looseness with the truth, and I remember it specifically because I thought FIRE was better than that.

It’s been a few years, but as I recall our statistics (which we provided under an open records request) were dramatically inflated, the holding of Davis v. Monroe County was misrepresented in support of preferred policy language, overstated the no. of states that had implemented FIRE’s policy, etc.

I agree that the campus litigation team at FIRE is generally admirable. As a former university general counsel, I have serious problems with the policy/advocacy side. I tangled with them for three straight sessions and the information provided to legislators was flatly false on several occasions.

Coming from a house with two egg-allergic children, eggs are basically magic because they can be used for around six reasons. They can usually be substituted, but you have to have the right purpose. Banana can be a good replacement where the egg acts as a binder, but wouldn’t work for leavening.
