Description

Linfield University normally doesn’t make big news. But in the past month, the private school has attracted the attention of the NAACP, Anti Defamation League, Oregon Board of Rabbis and national news outlets.
 
On the latest episode, cops and courts reporter Max Bernstein discusses the still unfolding situation at Linfield, where a tenured Shakespeare scholar was fired last month. The school now faces criticism that it fired a whistleblower who was drawing attention to sexual misconduct allegations against multiple school trustees. Its embattled president said the professor was fired for cause
 
We talked about the controversy, how it’s played out on campus and how the university is handling it.
