This is the first paragraph of an item from the London-based Institute for 
Science in Society which may be of interest especially to anyone who didn't 
know a university could overrule a court:

Dr. Ted Steele, senior academic and researcher in Wollongong University, 
well known for pioneering work in immunogenetics, was dismissed without 
warning and without pay more than a year ago. The legal battle to reinstate 
him has continued to this day. In the latest hearing, the Federal Court 
Judge Murray Wilcox expressed shock at the University's behaviour, the 
sacked academic is treated 'worse than a murderer'. Steele won his case, 
but to his dismay discovers he will be re-instated, only to be immediately 
dismissed again. Please write to express your support. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 
updates on this crucial battle for independent science and scientists.
