Caffera Responds to University of Mississippi's Motion to Dismiss

The sidelined Ombuds at Ole Miss, Paul Caffera, has filed a response to the university's motion to dismiss his action in Chancery Court. Caffera's response offers several legal and factual reasons for the court to deny the university's motion. The response reveals that the University of Mississippi was seeking the identity of anonymous whistleblowers and suspected Caffera of being involved or knowing their identities. Caffera's response was published by the Mississippi Free Press, which continues to follow the case closely. (Caffera Response; Mississippi Free Press.)

Meanwhile the GoFundMe campaign for Caffera's legal fees has raised $2,245 (out of a $20,000 goal). (GoFundMe.)
