As much as I hate our sue-happy approach to conflict resolution in America, this lady might actually have a legitimate case. I'd be interested to see what our resident attorneys think of this one. As pitiful as the academic job market is, I think I'd rather change careers than work for one of these colleges. I will confess that I started co-fornicating back in the 90s, but it never helped me to get a job. That dude has it all figured out.

This latest story about Teri James suing her former employer San Diego Christian College for allegedly firing her upon discovering her pregnancy has a little extra special sauce added to it. No, not because Gloria Allred is the lawyer, meaning that everyone gets to enjoy a weepy press conference about it. It's because of who the school allegedly decided to offer the woman's job to after firing her: "After James lost her job, she claims the school offered a position to her now-husband, even though they were aware he'd had sex before getting married, too."
