I have removed this section which an anonymous IP has repeatedly [1], [2] tried to add:
This section was an unsubstantiated distortion. It is a "controversy" (if at all) pertaining to Theresa Cameron not Reiter. In the Phoenix Magazine report of the court case against ASU (note that it was not a lawsuit against Reiter), Cameron is reported as admitting she could not personally point to any evidence that showed that the ASU president and faculty had discriminated against her. "The jury deliberated and dismissed Cameron’s claims. Allegations of gender discrimination, disability discrimination and denial of due process were also dismissed by the court earlier in the trial process.". This reference from Phoenix Magazine in no way characterises this as a "controversy". Additionally, there is no evidence of enduring, widespread, and significant press coverage of this event to justify its inclusion here. Instead what we have is a brief article in a local magazine factually reporting that the court case was dismissed by the jury and an opinion post in a blog with 3 comments.
There are no reliable sources supporting the claim "Dr. Cameron was seen by many members of the academic community as arbitrary, unfair, and discriminatory". The only reference given is the opinion of one person in a blog posting who claimed her dismissal was unfair. Please read WP:Reliable sources, particularly as they pertain to the Biographies of Living persons.
Neither of the two sources supports any of the following claims:
"Copying material onto syllabi, however, is widely regarded as common practice among professors"
"Dr. Cameron's firing is the only known case of a tenured faculty member being fired for using another instructor's syllabus without attribution."
"The move to fire Dr. Cameron was strongly opposed by the University Faculty Senate."
