A federal judge has denied a request by two Tennessee Tech professors to overturn disciplinary action levied against them after posting fliers on campus calling a fellow professor a “racist.” The pair alleged in a lawsuit that the school’s provost retaliated against them for the fliers by curtailing their ability to serve as faculty advisors to student organizations, participate in study abroad programs and benefit from pay increases for one year. They also alleged their due process rights were violated. Judge Waverly Crenshaw said the professors failed to prove either portion of their case, the Tennessee Lookout reports.
