Dear lord! When just skimming the thread titles and you see Fennelly immediately followed by dismissed..... yikes- got a bit nervous for a second....
I agree. Hard for me to understand how a "case" remains if Bill is not part of it. Unless the remaining case would somehow be consistent with the position taken by some students at the meeting with Leath recently where they called him a racist and walked out of his meeting. Kind of a stretch I know. Like the Missouri situation where the "case" basically was that the institution did not do enough when confronted with racial issues. However, right or wrong, they seemed to have a large amount of support, whereas so far, this seems like nicki alone.
This is pretty common. Usually the only party left standing in a suit against the state is the state because of certain liability laws. If employees are acting in the scope of their employment of the state, the state is the liable party usually. I think there may be instances where this isn't the case but can't remember off the top of my head.
What rhotlgraves said. Its about going after the money. The money is with the employer. This is very common in education law suits.
