This account of an academic lawsuit qualifies as a horror story. A mediocre minority student abuses civil rights and ADA protections to win a massive monetary award against his school on the flimsiest of evidence. Jaded lawyers for the state university represent powerless faculty defendants in court, torpidly allowing the jury to throw 50 years of judicial precedent on academic freedom out the window. An impulse for diversity colors the whole proceeding. That everyone is so inured to the travesty offends Lionel S. Lewis.
