Lightning Halts First University of Florida Gators Game of the 2014 Season

Five days after the University of Florida Levin College of Law refused to mediate in good faith on age, disability and retaliation discrimination with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, lightning strikes hit all around Ben Hill Griffin Stadium after only one play, ending the first game of the season.

How cool is that?

As I told Senior Associate Dean ALYSON CRAIG FLOURNOY on August 25, 2014, "Let justice be done though the heavens fall." UF's Environmental and Land Use Planning Law now faces an investigation by the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights. UF must stop discriminating, stop retaliating and start talking. Now.

By the way, there was no lightning and no rain here last night in St. Augustine, Florida, the locus of Monday's mediation, which ALYSON FLOURNOY and a UF lawyer deigned to attend only by telephone, emitting pretexts (but mostly silence), no questions, no answers and no offers over the telephone from only 90 miles and 90 minutes away.

Let justice be done though the heavens fall.

By the way, when we filed the first environmental whistleblower case against Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1991, the sky opened up and there were some five inches of rain in a few hours over the Y-12 Nuclear Weapons Plant, one of three corrupt Oak Ridge plants then operated by Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Department of Energy. How cool is that?
