Court says professor can withdraw lawsuit
A federal court magistrate recommended that a KU journalism professor be allowed to withdraw his discrimination case against the University, but recommended that he pay nearly $6,000 in trial costs to the University if he decided to refile the case.
Mike Cuenca, assistant professor of journalism, filed a motion in June to withdraw his lawsuit, which alleges that the University discriminated and retaliated against him because of his Filipino-American ethnicity. The University opposed that motion, wanting him to either continue with the case or dismiss it without the option of refiling.
If the U.S. District Court judge follows the magistrate's Sept. 25 recommendation, Cuenca would be able to dismiss the case and refile it later. If he did so, however, he would be required to pay the University $5,882.45 for legal expenses. Cuenca said in an e-mail that he wasn't sure yet what action he would take.
"On the one hand, I'd really like to proceed with it, so if the district judge rules that I have to pay KU's fees, I may exercise my right at that point to withdraw the motion and proceed with the existing case." Cuenca said. "It's all up in the air now."

Protesters support priest's attack on clinic
"I don't agree with his methods, but I appreciate his heart," said the Rev. David Broom. He joined a human chain of about 1,000 protesters outside a Catholic church.
The rally at Holy Family Church in Rockford had been scheduled long before Saturday's attack. Amid the singing, people could be heard talking about the Rev. John Earl, who is charged with burglary and felony criminal damage to property for the attack Saturday morning at the Northern Illinois Women's Center. He was freed after posting $10,000 bond.
Earl, 32, was stopped inside the building by its owner, who fired two shotgun blasts to scare him away. The clinic wasn't open and there were no injuries.
Police have not disclosed a possible motive for the attack on the clinic.
The Diocese of Rockford said the priest's activities have been restricted while it investigates the allegations.
