This is poorly written. Had to go to two other sites to determine which court made this ruling. Turns out it was the federal district court in Greenville, SC. Probably too early to know if the school will appeal.

Although there is a Federal District Court in Greenville, SC, I think it is more likely that the proceedings took place in the Federal District Court in Greenville, NC. I heard Travis Barham being interviewed today on a local talk radio show and he just said Greenville, not Greenville, SC. Since Greenville, NC, is only an hour and a half away from the site of the radio show and only about three hours from UNCW, I think that is where the case was heard. I was delighted to hear about the ruling today!

Mr. Barham said that it would be up to the judge who adjudicated the case to determine what penalties the UNC system will have to pay or what they will have to do to remedy their mistreatment of Dr. Adams. He said the jury deliberated less than two hours before finding for Dr. Adams because the case against the university system was so strong. He was asked what the university would do in response to the ruling and he declined to speak for them since he was not representing them. He said UNCW's lawyers and the UNC system lawyers were involved in representing the school which he said was standard practice in cases like this one.
