Department of Education letter to University of North Carolina:

This is the letter that David Bernstein referred to in his Hostile Environment Blowback post below, and it explains why the Department’s Office for Civil Rights thought the professor’s e-mail about the student’s anti-gay comments constituted racial and sexual discrimination and harassment. The always excellent UCLA Law Library has kindly gotten a copy of the letter for me, and I thought I’d put it up.

(Note that there’s been a bit of trouble with the UCLA servers today; if you don’t get a response when accessing the files, just wait an hour and try again.)

UPDATE: The original post mistakenly said this involved religious discrimination and harassment — I should have said racial and sexual discrimination and harassment. Sorry; that’s the problem with blogging in a hurry. Thanks to reader Richard Riley for correcting this.
