In this civil rights action brought by a former University of Michigan adjunct professor against school officials who were involved in his discipline and subsequent termination, the Plaintiff-Appellant challenges the trial court's determination that his MIOSHA complaint was not on a matter of public concern, and thus, was not protected speech. He also challenges the trial court's finding that that he spoke at a university-sponsored forum in his capacity as a Dental School employee, not as a private citizen, and that his speech at the forum was therefore not protected. .
