Scott Douglas Gerber, a current Virginia resident and occasional contributor to Bacon’s Rebellion, reached a settlement with Ohio Northern University that includes reinstatement to his job and complete vindication to his reputation.

ONU terminated his employment as a tenured law school professor after he objected to the University’s race-based hiring practices. ONU sent campus security and armed police officers into his classroom to forcibly remove him, according to America First Legal, which represented him in his litigation.

Aside from allowing him to retire at his “rightful faculty rank” with all benefits intact, ONU formally acknowledged that Gerber was never a risk to anyone in the ONU community, never acted with moral turpitude, and provided “outstanding teaching, scholarship, and service” throughout his tenure.

Under the terms of the settlement, according to the Bluffton Icon, Gerber submitted his retirement letter ending his employment. Both sides agreed not to disparage one another, and Gerber agreed not to publish a memoir entitled, “Cancelled.”

Gerber, a graduate of the University of Virginia Law School, recently criticized his alma mater for its DEI policies, which we republished here.

You know what would be cool — if the UVA School of Law hired Gerber. You know… to demonstrate how committed it is to intellectual diversity.
