Price was right

Janice Price won her point in court—and an award of $10,401 in damages. The amount is what she would have earned as a part-time instructor for one year at DePauw University, a United MethodistÐrelated school in Greencastle, Ind.

The school suspended her in 2001 after a student complained she made copies of the supposedly anti-homosexual Teachers in Focus, a magazine published by James Dobson's Focus on the Family ministry, available in the classroom.

DePauw administrators insisted they axed her position because of declining student enrollment. But a six-member jury ruled that the school did not properly follow its faculty handbook in suspending her. DePauw officials argued that since Miss Price also was an administrator in the education department (a post she retains), faculty rules didn't apply. They said it really is a contract dispute, and they will appeal.
