A college professor fired for supporting union activity and the removal of Confederate statues will get her job back, following a settlement agreement reached on Thursday.
Collin College education professor Suzanne Jones was fired last year for her political speech—speech that her public university had no right to terminate her over. Jones sued, backed by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). The parties reached a generous settlement this week, with the school promising to rehire Jones on a $230,000 two-year teaching contract, and pay her six-figure legal fees.
