An Emory University law professor suspended and banished from campus for more than a year over his use of a racial epithet has sued the university, contending he was subjected to discrimination, retaliation and libel because he is white.  

The suit was filed Thursday on behalf of tenured law professor Paul Zwier by attorney Lee Parks of Atlanta’s Parks Chesin & Walbert. It contends that Zwier was suspended indefinitely and recommended for termination over his use of the N-word in teaching a class. The suit contends that Black professors at Emory have used the same epithet both in and out of class without consequence.
