Ken Levy, a law professor at Louisiana State University, will resume classroom instruction during the upcoming spring semester, according to reporting by WBRZ. Levy was removed from teaching approximately one year ago after a student filed a complaint regarding remarks he made in a criminal procedure course.
The situation has involved multiple legal proceedings, with lower courts ruling on two separate occasions that Levy should be reinstated to his teaching position. Those decisions were subsequently reversed by appellate courts, prolonging the dispute. In a statement posted to Facebook in July, Levy indicated that LSU administrators had not provided him with documentation detailing which specific university rules, regulations, or policies he had violated. Levy also stated that the university had not conducted a formal hearing regarding the matter. An LSU spokesperson declined to confirm or address the accuracy of Levy’s claims.
Levy was initially suspended following complaints about comments he made during a criminal procedure class. According to reports, his remarks included criticism of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landy, as well as comments about President Donald Trump. Levy told students that those who supported Trump required his political perspective. The dispute between Levy and the university has drawn attention regarding academic freedom and the scope of protected speech within higher education settings.
