If the facts are as the plaintiff alleges, then her First Amendment rights were violated.  Some readers may recall we discussed this case in understanding some of Steven Salaita's potential claims against the University of Illinois.

UPDATE:  The jury found against the instructor, presumably meaning they did not find there was enough evidence that she was denied the job because of her political viewpoint.  She certainly had enough evidence in her favor to warrant a trial, but unlike the Salaita case, the evidence was decidedly more mixed.  (Thanks to Thomas Gallanis for the pointer.)
