Purdue probably believe the courts will not take anti-white racism seriously. Maybe they are right

First, let me say I do not know the specific facts of the case other than what is stated here.
But if we are only talking a few comments that will be a tough case to get through a dispositive motion. If, however, it's more and it goes to trial, those pretty universally favor plaintiffs. Not always. But lots of people are sympathetic once they hear comments like that.

From the article, it sounds like the trial is starting today -- which would lead me to believe that it already got through a dispositive motion.

That kid can get a job at IUPUI.

Not necessarily. Summary Judgment, probably yes. But dispositive motions can be renewed and made during trial.

which should tell you there is no valid case

Because there isnt'. Why don't you fools realize that the media plays on the plaintiff's side of these cases? And often there Is "no there there" because anyone can sue in America but few cases ever make it to trial or judgment. grow up and learn before you poist such junk again

The judge in this case is a white girl.

Regardless of how much Purdue should pay to settle the case they need to fire the Asian racist immediately. There’s no place for his ilk in an American university.

The plaintiff is clearly not lazy. However, she didn't get her tenure. She's in a publish or perish world. Not sure of her creds but I am sure these things will come out, whether she's published, or published enough in reputable journals...

The settlement discussion broke down and Purdue is betting on the outcome of the trial. So wait and see.

Yes, and also whether the bigoted person she's referencing was able to single-handedly sink her tenure case. This is unlikely, since there are multiple levels of review. It'll probably turn out her that her external review letters were not positive due to research output.

The plaintiff's claim is that the head of the dept, born and raised in Tokyo, was in cahoots with another Asian prof to shoot down her tenure. She's pulling out the race card, not realizing Tokyo natives think they are the center of the universe and will not typically collaborate with other Asian country bumpkins. As long as she's playing the race card, let's take her argument to the logical conclusion to say the Tokyo native probably prefers white girls over other Asian bumpkins. So her argument that the Tokyo native was working with another Asian prof to shoot down a white girl, eastern European, makes no sense. She's welcome to speculate all she wants. Tokyo natives have less against white girl country bumpkins than non-Tokyo country bumpkins.

I actually think this will be more of a sexism than a racism case, if this professor can back up the claims.

“A senior researcher in the nuclear engineering department, Jeffrey Brooks, wrote a declaration in 2020 in Sizyuk’s defense as part of her lawsuit. The document was filed last month. In it, Brooks wrote of Sizyuk’s high qualifications for tenure. He blamed Ishii for the outcome.

“I have observed that Dr. Mamoru Ishii has a strong, outsized influence on employment decisions at Purdue Nuclear Engineering,” he wrote, describing anti-female remarks and actions.”

Her issue seems to be more that he is sexist than racist. This guy sounds like a real piece of work.
