## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that a tenured state college teacher’s termination hearing and all communications made “in the course of’ said hearing were quasi-judicial

## Opinion text

I concur in that part of the majority opinion which holds that the letter of termination written by Byrd is a part of a quasi-judicial proceeding and, therefore, is absolutely privileged. However, I respectfully dissent from that part which reverses the summary judgment in favor of Byrd. *Page 37
