Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the then President of SUNY Potsdam, John Schaller, should be denied qualified immunity for retaliating against an employee for reporting workplace violence/bullying to a lawyer

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED . QUESTIONS I WOULD LIKE THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO ANSWER: John Schaller, the then President of The State University of New York (SUNY) at Potsdam, should not be allowed qualified immunity for many reasons. A The importance of this case to the public as well as to the law is whether the reporting of workplace violence/bullying (and to protect the safety of University students working nearby ..finally to a lawyer) is in jeopardy for every employee (if the then President of SUNY Potsdam, Schwaller, qualifies for Qualified Immunity, especially given all of our evidence of retaliation shown in court documents.) _ The first two of them: 1. I found by going through his appeal court records and comparing it to other statements that was stated in the same court record showed numerous lies.(Ail are noted and compared.) 2. He retaliated against me with malicious intent for reporting work place violence to a lawyer (my receipt is attached) after I reported this to SUNY Potsdam and they did . nothing about it.
