A transgender professor who was denied a promotion more than a decade ago must be reinstated with tenure at Southeastern Oklahoma State University because the school discriminated against her, a federal court ruled this week.

Rachel Tudor, who was fired from the university in 2011, won a landmark civil rights discrimination case in 2017 in which a jury awarded her more than $1 million in damages.

A panel of three federal judges determined Rachel Tudor deserves her old job as a tenured-track professor at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

The Oklahoma Teachers’ Retirement System relies on both teachers’ contributions as well as contributions from the state. Teachers contribute with every paycheck, but each year it seems we have to fight to ensure that our pensions are fully funded. The state House of Representatives recently passed House Bill 2293, which would take $28 million from the pension system every single year. Not only would pension system lose those direct dollars but also lose out on millions more in lost investment revenue annually. This bill is wrong and completely unnecessary.

Throughout the past decade, Oklahoma teachers have faced multiple attacks from lawmakers.
