A federal judge in Topeka dismisses most claims in a lawsuit from a former University of Kansas student worker, Anthony Alvarez, who was fired for criticizing changes to the campus LGBTQ+ dorm. Alvarez, a transgender man, saw only his retaliation claim against supervisor Emily Chellgren survive. The university altered policies at Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall, sparking backlash. Alvarez spoke to media outlets, leading to protests and his eventual firing. The judge ruled Alvarezs comments werent part of his official duties, letting the retaliation case against Chellgren move forward. Chellgren appeals to the Tenth Circuit Court, keeping the fight over free speech and campus policies alive.
