Quick Thought for Harlan and Holmes (and the other four of you)

So I'm taking a seminar this semester on free speech, and I've picked out my paper topic. I'll be writing on Perry v. Sinderman, 408 U.S. 593 (1972). The case held that a college professor's dismissal could not be upheld on summary judgment on his lack of a contractual or tenure right to employment when he claimed that his dismissal was due to public criticism of the administration. The question I'm asking is basically, what's the likely decision on the merits of this question? Short answer is, I dunno - but I'm gonna find out.

What do you guys think?
