Dive Brief:

• Administrators at Naropa University, a Buddhist institution in Boulder, Colo., have reinstated a professor who refused to speak in class and was suspended last month.
• Don Matthews has hired an attorney and says the National Labor Relations Board is looking at whether his civil rights were violated.
• Matthews had said his suspension was racially motivated, while the school had said mounting complaints merited paid suspension.

Dive Insight:

It's hard to sort out everything that's going on here, but one of the issues appears to be a lack of diversity on campus. Matthews, who is black, says his suspension was part of institutional racism. Meanwhile, the school is accepting applications for a diversity director.
