"The University of Arkansas has withdrawn a job offer to Emily Suski as dean of its law school because she signed on to a friend-of-the-court brief supporting transgender athletes."
"After receiving feedback from key external stakeholders about the fit between Professor Suski and the university's vacancy, the university has decided to go a different direction in filling the vacancy. University officials are very grateful for Professor Suski's interest in the position and continue to hold Professor Suski in high regard. We wish Professor Suski well as she moves forward with her career."
"After the deal was done and the hire was announced, a few state legislators along with at least one constitutional officer became aware that the newly hired Dean had signed onto a 'friend of the court' brief in a lawsuit challenging laws regarding transgender athletes in sports,"
The University of Arkansas withdrew a job offer to Emily Suski for dean of its law school after she signed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting transgender athletes. The university had announced plans to hire Suski to begin July 1, 2026, but said feedback from key external stakeholders led it to pursue a different candidate. University officials expressed gratitude for Suski's interest and wished her well. A state legislator said conservative lawmakers and at least one constitutional officer objected after learning Suski had signed the brief; Suski was one of 17 academics on the filing. The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard cases involving laws barring trans student athletes.
