Flygare, Thomas J. – Phi Delta Kappan, 1983
A series of legal actions brought by Elmo Tatum charging the University of Nebraska with discriminatory policies is reviewed. The United States Supreme Court awarded the university damages because of the "frivolous" nature of Tatum's appeal, and the essay concludes that this may inaugurate a campaign against the flood of litigation.
