Message: [QUOTE="dantheman, post: 3455345, member: 9090"] FYI- its been reported and is standard practice that the arbitration clause calls for attorneys fees and costs to be awarded to the prevailing party. If Ollie wins $1, his attorneys would then submit their reported 7 figure bill to be added in addition to what the favorable ruling is. Should Ollie het zeroed, he is stuck with the Attorney General’s bill. Second, Ollie could be found to have breached his contract and still prevail at arbitration, as the arbitrator has ruled that the professors collective bargaining agreement governs and supercedes the contract. Why this matters is that the CBA only allows for dismissal without severance for serious/significant misconduct, which is a significantly higher standard than a just breaching an employment contract.
