Professor Sues Bennett College Over Alleged Breach of Handbook Policies
Tom Lipscomb, a journalism professor at Bennett College, has filed a lawsuit against the institution, claiming it ignored its own handbook policies during an investigation into his conduct. The investigation began with allegations of inappropriate behavior, which were later deemed baseless. However, Lipscomb received a written warning for unrelated issues, which he disputes. He argues that the college's handling of the investigation violated its documented HR policies, and he is suing for breach of contract. The case highlights tensions between faculty rights and administrative procedures in higher education.
