Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is not a court’s prerogative to interject itself into the educational institution and to require such institution to either hire or not hire a professor. While such an institution cannot be permitted to refuse employment on unlawful and impermissible grounds, its exercise of discretion in refusing to hire an applicant because it is felt that such person could not harmoniously perform his or her duties should not be disturbed by a court in an action of this character.”
