quote:
Many state legislatures followed by enacting statutes to define the limits of immunity for state governmental entities and employees.
Title VII has an explicit waiver making it applicable to state and municipal government employers with more than 15 employees. Can't get punitive damages against a state entity. Can get punitive damages against state employees in limited circumstances if they willfully violate your civil rights while acting under color of law.
Used by minorities but also applies to equal protection claims made by women.
Title VII has $300,000 cap which does not include attorney fees or backpay and benefits which are equitable in nature.

Thank you, the state can be sued but there is a cap
It will not cost them millons as infered by those throwing salt in the Arkansas wound.
The University is not 100% immune as the Petrino apologists implied
