Bewitched: University of Nebraska Settles Case With Witch After Preliminary Finding of Discrimination

According to critics, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln has ended its witch hunt. It settled with an unnamed self-described witch who alleged that she was fired after coming out of the figurative broom closet.

The settlement was for $40,000, though the University insisted the settlement was “solely to compromise the claim … without admitting the validity of plaintiff’s contention or any allegations of wrongdoing by the defendants.”
The witch said she was the director of a youth program in 2007 when she revealed her religious views to an associate dean.

She filed a complaint with the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission, which found reasonable cause to believe religious discrimination had taken place.
