Texas Southern University’s former law school dean sued her ex-employer in federal court Wednesday, alleging that she was stripped of her position and tenure without cause.
While passing rates remained the same or only slightly improved over the next few years, the law school returned to compliance with its accreditor, the American Bar Association. Bullock also steered the ship as the school uncovered and responded to a pay-for-admissions scandal, which ousted an assistant dean and led to the toppling of the university president.
In June, the university removed her from being dean and professor, only telling her they were going in a “different direction,” Bullock said. She refused to sign a written severance agreement because of her tenured faculty status, leading Acting Provost Lillian B. Poats to say the university believed it had cause, Bullock's attorneys wrote in the lawsuit.
Bullock said she asked for a hearing twice, seeking the opportunity to challenge her termination. Texas Southern officials did not respond, violating the due process clause and Privileges and Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment, she claims.
