Prof. Jane Kirtley Interviewed by MPR on Defamation Lawsuit Against Hamline University
Professor Jane Kirtley was interviewed by MPR on a recently announced lawsuit against Hamline University. Professor Erika López Prater is currently suing Hamline for defamation and religious discrimination. López Prater's teaching contract as an adjunct was not renewed following a complaint from a student regarding a piece of artwork that López Prater showed in her class, with the university having sent out a campus-wide email labeling the action as Islamophobic.
