Suzanne Jones, an education professor, sued the school late last year, seeking to be reinstated as a faculty member at the North Texas college.
“Suzanne’s main goal since the very beginning has been to go back to the college to teach,” FIRE attorney Greg H. Greubel said, adding that Jones is “thrilled.” Leaders at the Texas Faculty Association and the Texas State Teachers Association celebrated Jones’ return to the school in a joint statement, writing that she “never should have lost that position in the first place.”
College administrators cited three reasons that led to Jones’ firing, including that she signed her name and college affiliation on an open letter calling for the removal of Confederate monuments in Dallas in 2017; used the school’s name on a website connected to the Texas Faculty Association in 2020; and was outspoken on the college’s handling of the coronavirus, according to FIRE attorneys.
College President Neil Matkin has previously denied in staff-wide emails that the campus administration retaliates against faculty and staff.

Despite Tom Brady's Bucs taking a step back this season, getting a competitive matchup with two solid teams was a nice change. Unfortunately, it's unlikely we'll see the same level of competitiveness this week, but we do get the chance to see the NFL's only unbeaten team look to continue its streak.
