Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
The administration at a community college in san bernardino informed me I was dismissed from my adjunct position because someone reported I was overheard remarking how a certain tenured instructor was so rude to students and incompetent to teach. A legal reason for dismissal?

If you were an at-will employee, then the college could dismiss you for the reason you state. If you were not an at-will employee and could be terminated only for cause, then probably not. The question of whether you were at-will or not will depend on your contract with the college. If you have a union, you should contact your union representative. There may also be a procedural basis for challenging your termination.
Whether it is or not, you have appeal rights under the Education Code and your contract, so follow them.
If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be.
