Naval Academy Settles with Critical Professor: BALTIMORE – An outspoken critic of the U.S. Naval Academy's admissions policies has settled a complaint that alleged he was wrongly denied a pay raise for exercising his First Amendment rights.
English professor Bruce Fleming said Wednesday that he was satisfied with the settlement. But he said nothing has been done to address his concerns about the Annapolis academy's academic standards, which he said are deteriorating because of a push by college leaders to increase the number of minority midshipmen and to field competitive teams in football and other sports.
