Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 2759524, member: 833"] The burden of proof on the University is that they have to prove why they fired Ollie, and discovery is going to be a motherscalitoer. You only need one email from someone that says "we need to find a way to get rid of Ollie without paying his contract", and the school is on the hook for the $10 million, plus potential punitive damages. The safest bet in a wrongful termination case is on the terminated employee. Employers can fire whoever they want, but courts are inclined to enforce severance more often than not. UConn has a shot, and maybe they can turn one of these molehills into a mountain, but will be an uphill fight. [/QUOTE]
