Ollie wins ruling on union protection in fight over firing
"The arbitrator in the dispute between UConn and Kevin Ollie says the former basketball coach is protected by a union contract when it comes to the standard the school must meet in proving his ouster was justified."
Just to be clear, this isn't a ruling on whether or not UConn owes Ollie any specific amount of money, just a ruling that Ollie's protections from the AAUP mean a firing for just cause requires "a showing of serious misconduct" not the broader range of offenses that UConn initially claimed it could fire him for.
More hearings coming up.
