That's the part I don't understand in all this. Assuming your employer publicly damaged your reputation but nevertheless honored their employment contract, why does that give them a "get out of jail free" card? It seems to me that the actions are unrelated.

Yeah I posted a fuller response just above yours.
It doesn't; it would just be a part of the university's affirmative defenses (i.e. that any damage to Bajakian's reputation or employment status was due to performance rather than what Bajakian's pointing to; as well as that he was never specifically mentioned and nobody else is suing who could have similar claims of being defamed -i.e. MacPherson).

He was not mentioned, but his picture wearing the shirt was plastered in many media outlets.
I'm sure his lawyers will put that in as evidence, but it's just difficult to make the connection stick imo.
