An Alabama jury awarded Michael Stern $645,837 in damages, finding after a two-week trial that Stern’s former dean illegally punished him for speaking out.
Stern said he then began to face pressure from officials in his department, who he said were trying to protect the public administration program.that said that in 2013 about half of students majoring in public administration at Auburn played sports, including nearly all the top players on the football team, and quoted an email where an official wrote that “If the public administration program is eliminated, the [graduation success rate] numbers for our student-athletes will likely decline.
Stern was removed as chair of the economic department in 2018, and filed a federal lawsuit claiming Auburn denied his First Amendment rights and unfairly retaliated against him. Jurors awarded him monetary damages intended to make up for lost wages and benefits and compensate for a violation of his rights.
Stern is still a professor at Auburn. He told Inside Higher Education Monday that he looks “forward to working with Auburn University, charting a new and positive path toward achieving our educational mission.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
