How later courts described this case

  • “[While] [t]here are district court opinions to the contrary[,] ... it would be an usual state university that would not receive immunity.”
  • “Although state universities have consistently been found to be entitled to immunity, courts reexamine the issue with regard to the facts of each case ‘because the states have adopted different schemes ... in constituting their institutions of higher learning.’ ”
  • "since the affiliation decision was primarily an internal matter for the union, [citing Sea-First, 106 S.Ct. at 1015-16], no question of representation is raised by the union's decision not to require unit-by-unit approval of the changes"
  • “The vast majority of cases considering the issue have found state universities to be forfended by the Eleventh Amendment.”
