University of Houston v. Barth

A professor at the University of Houston sued the university under the Texas Whistleblower Act for retaliation allegedly stemming from the professor's reports that his supervisor violated internal administrative policies located in the University's System Administrative Memorandum and other state civil and criminal law. Because there is no evidence that the University's Board of Regents enacted the SAM's administrative rules pursuant to authority granted to it in the Texas Education Code, the rules do not fall within the definition of "law" under the Whistleblower Act. The court of appeals' judgment is reversed and the case is dismissed. University of Houston v. Barth, Texas Supreme Court, No. 12-0358, 06-14-2013.
