Wrongful Discharge. Stefan Sorril, a health teacher at Madison Middle School and a triathlete, appeared shirt- less and showed off his “ripped” body as an extra on an episode of a new reality TV show. A week after the show aired, school officials called him into the district office and asked for his resignation. Sorril later claimed that he was pressured and coerced into resigning. He said the school officials had informed him that—as a result of his appearance on the show—he would no longer be offered tenure (a senior aca- demic’s contractual right not to be terminated without just cause). Sorril subsequently sued for wrongful discharge. (See Employment at Will.)

(a) The first group will discuss whether Sorril was an employee at will and how that status would affect his claim.

(b) The second group will determine if Sorril can assert any of the exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine.

(c) The third group will decide whether the school district should be held liable for wrongful discharge and explain their reasoning.
