United States Second Circuit

Held that officials of a state college had qualified immunity from an employee's claim that she was fired for exercising her First Amendment rights. A college admissions counselor alleged that her firing was retaliation for providing advice to a coworker who was being arrested by campus police. Affirming summary judgment for the college but relying on different grounds from the district court, the Second Circuit held that the college officials were entitled to qualified immunity.
