"LSU is free to continue pursuing potential job action, including termination, against law professor Ken Levy, who was suspended from the classroom after making comments about President Donald Trump and Gov. Jeff Landry in front of students.... 'Prof. Levy's removal from the classroom was an interim decision made by LSU President (William) Tate that did not disturb Prof. Levy's tenure rights, employment, or pay,' the panel concluded."
"Maybe that's why LSU is spending all the time and money to "investigate" and litigate the absolute nothingburger of a law professor talking shit off the cuff in his own classroom. To recap, Ken Levy is a law professor at Louisiana State University who got ratted on by one of his students for dropping two F-bombs - one about the state governor and the other about President Trump."
Ken Levy, a law professor at Louisiana State University, was suspended after using profanity about Governor Jeff Landry and President Donald Trump during class and being reported by a student. LSU President William Tate removed Levy from the classroom as an interim measure while retaining his tenure rights, pay, and employment status. A panel ruled that LSU may continue to pursue potential job actions, including termination. Levy's attorney raised concerns that the interim removal skirts broader First Amendment issues. The situation illustrates tension between faculty speech protections and university disciplinary authority in public institutions.
