The second moved to enforce protec- tive orders, which would keep details of the case private. Neither party has been following the pro- tective orders thus far in the pro- ceedings. The motion to enforce the pro- tective orders over the case was postponed indefinitely by the court, which neither party pro- tested. Giddings placed a new protec- tive order on certain details of the case duringthe hearing on Friday, which both parties intend to fol- low. The information under this protective order will remain under wraps until the summary hearing in November. Though unwilling to speak about intimate details of the case, Hammer expressed relief over the decision to move the case along. "I'm very happy the court has scheduled a hearing date," Ham- mer said. "Hopefully the court will determine.that this matter can be set for trial. "I'm hoping by getting this thing all geared up again, we can anticipate a decision shortly after the hearing." The filing of the lawsuit came after Hammer was denied ten- ure in 2003. Hammer had been approved for tenure by a review board for the University by a 4-1 vote, but his tenure was denied when tenured Law School faculty voted 18-12, two votes shy of the two-thirds vote required to be granted tenure. Hammer left the University shortly after being denied tenure and filed a lawsuit against the Uni- versity in 2004, alleging he was discriminated against because of his sexuality, which would violate the University's non-discrimina- tion policies. The University initially argued that an alleged violation of Univer- sity policy could notbe pursued in a legal setting, but changed its argu- ment in 2006 due to pressure from faculty. Since then, the University has shifted strategy, instead argu- ing that discrimination had no role in Hammer's tenure decision. University spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham, while unable to discuss the University's legal strategy, said the University does its best to ensure that discrimi- nation does not occur within the community. "The University is committed to inclusiveness and non-discrimi- nation for all members of our com- munity," Cunningham said in an e-mail. "The university has bylaws and policies, and entire systems in place to make sure those policies are working properly." 0 0 MADDIE LAKIND/Daily The Alpha Chi Omega and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororities face off yesterday in the playoffs of the 77th annual Mud Bowl Tournament put on by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
