Virginia State University Sued Over Politicized Employment Practices: "This most recent case involves a tenured black female professor of sociology, Professor Jean Cobbs. Cobbs is suing VSU over alleged violations of her First Amendment rights and politically-motivated discrimination by VSU's current president, Eddie N. Moore, Jr., that led to her being fired from prominent faculty positions.

Jean Cobbs is a conservative and a Republican. She has worked on several campaigns on behalf of Republican candidates, including Virginia Governors George Allen and James Gilmore. In her state court complaint seeking $21.7 million, Cobbs alleges that she was 'expected' to make a large financial donation to a Democrat's campaign. She also claims that she had been derogated as a 'troublemaking Republican,' and charges that she had been admonished that she 'better watch [her] politics.' "
