" Because of his impeccable credentials and national reputation, the University hired him in 2003 to lead its struggling Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology (“Division”).
During the almost fifteen years he held that Division Chief post, Dr. Josephson turned the Division around, building a program that now has a national reputation.
He provided such superlative leadership that his supervisor (a defendant here) awarded him perfect marks in his 2014, 2015, and 2016 annual reviews. "

"But in late 2017, everything changed. That fall, the Heritage Foundation, a nationally known think-tank, invited Dr. Josephson to participate in a panel discussion, where he expressed his views and professional opinions on the treatment of youth experiencing gender dysphoria. After learning of his remarks, several University faculty and staff members objected to his views. They then learned that
