(McMinnville, OR) -- An ex-Linfield University professor has settled a whistleblower lawsuit against Linfield University for a million dollars. Former tenured English professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner filed the lawsuit against Linfield in July 2021, claiming the unlawful firing was an attempt to silence him for calling attention to reports accusing the university's President and trustees of sexual harassment of students and faculty. After investigating, the American Association of University Professors admonished and censured Linfield's administration for the retaliatory termination.
