Professor Sues University After Testifying | Los Angeles News

A tenured biology professor at Cal State Los Angeles, Patrick Krug, won a million-dollar verdict after suing his university for retaliation. Once hailed as “Professor of the Year,” Krug testified truthfully in support of a female colleague’s lawsuit alleging harassment and discrimination — despite pressure from administrators to testify against her. His refusal made him an “adversary” in their eyes, leading to sidelining, job sabotage, and eventual resignation. Even though he kept his teaching position, the university allegedly blocked him from fulfilling his athletics duties and offered perks to his replacement. The school claimed no real harm occurred — and even tried to discredit him with allegations of racism and sexual misconduct — but the jury saw it differently, awarding him justice for standing up for what’s right.
