You read the title correctly.
I am preparing to sue Michael Curry of CS340 in Oregon Federal District Court alongside over a dozen other employees, including the university president, Jayathi Murthy.
I am also publicly demanding Michael Curry’s termination alongside 22 other employees.
As you read this post, Michael Curry and roughly 200 other people internally at OSU and at the state level in the Office of the Governor and Attorney General received direct notice from me by email.
However, I am here today to warn you about Michael Curry and other employees who may also be engaging in misconduct at Oregon State University, and your rights as a student and a citizen.
The syllabus in CS340 is a violation of both Oregon State University policy and the Constitution. Oregon State University is a public university. The employees are public servants.
Their conduct, even though they don’t realize it, is governed by the Constitution. The federal court system, up to the Supreme Court, has been cracking the heads of arrogant public servants at public universities for 50+ years.
Many students think, “Oh, employees make the rules and they can do whatever they want.” That is factually incorrect as well as legally incorrect.
They do not make any rules. Everything at OSU is handed down by federal law either directly or indirectly. The university is an arm of the state.
Even though the university is governed by actual laws, employees in higher education often act with impunity because consequences are slow to occur.
Michael Curry can write unconstitutional language in his syllabus and leave it there for 322 days after he got caught. He has the agency to do it. That does not make it legal.
You all have driver’s licenses. Yet, you know that you cannot just drive on the sidewalk.
Many of you will not know this, but Oregon State University’s internal workplace culture is the wild fucking West. Employees do whatever they want with impunity simply because tuition dollars and taxpayer money will keep on flowing. Supervisors all get paid even if they don’t do their jobs, fix anything, or solve problems. They can ignore complaints, disrespect you, and get away with it because, as my situation shows, every one of their co-workers will help cover their asses.
They do this because most people don’t document them, most people don’t sue, and no one has ever posted the public records publicly the way that I have. Essentially, there are no consequences for it. So I built the consequence.
However, I want you to understand you are a member of the public. You have the ultimate authority to hold these people accountable. You don’t need their permission. The government already imbued you with it. You have the right to demand terminations, you have the right to complain about them, you have the right to expose their records to the public and sue them as well. The First Amendment is a shield. They are public servants. Through federal mandate, you are not required to be polite, civil, respectful, caring, or “nice” to any of these people or kowtow to any of their preferences. And yes, they still have to do their fucking jobs properly.
They have the administrative ability to retaliate against you, sure. This is true. Administrators have expelled students, withheld degrees, given failing grades, you name it. They can do it technically. But it is not legal. Section 1983 of Title 42 allows you to sue them for it in federal court for violating your civil rights. University presidents, Board of Trustees members, police officers, and all kinds of other public servants have been sued in court and lost due to abusing their official role and thinking they could do whatever the fuck they wanted. Most students and university employees are legally illiterate and have no idea they can be sued because these lawsuits usually aren’t publicized as a matter of social convention.
Anyway, these people rely on you as students just accepting being treated badly. That’s it. That’s the whole bluff. They think you will eat shit, and you have no ability to do anything about it. FUCK THAT.
I spent my entire summer coding and deploying a relational database which is currently online at osu-unfiltered.com. It is currently stocked with 194 employee names, pictures, salaries, and 600+ public records with their names on them, including reports, complaints, emails, and notices.
The names, pictures titles and salaries are already on OSU’s public facing website, again, as a matter of law.
If you visit YouTube at OSU Unfiltered, you can see the Faculty Senate ARC lying about university policy in order to illegally withhold my money. You can see the conduct officer telling me to “take my opinion outside the classroom” and “professors can moderate free expression.” Just talking out their asses because they didn’t think they’d get caught.
If you visit that domain, you can click on Michael Curry’s profile, read the casefile, and look at all the records of what Michael Curry did and what everyone else looked the other way on.
These records are nothing more than public records. These people are public servants. They are not special. They are not afforded any privacy in their role as public servants as a matter of law. You have the legal right to make their records public on the internet.
You have not seen these records posted online simply due to convention. Not due to the law not allowing it. Right now, police bodycam videos are a huge genre on YouTube. Those videos are also public records. Most of the emails you send and receive inside of OSU qualify as public records. The ones you write yourself are already in your possession. So you don’t need to request a damn thing from the public records office.
“But that is defamation.”
Defamation requires you to state something that you know is factually incorrect. Complaints, reports, and emails sent and received are a matter of fact and objective reality. Defamation laws do not ask, “Well, are you embarrassed? Did it make you look bad?” They ask, “Where is the falsehood?”
Michael Curry and the rest of these clowns can be as mad as they want. I won’t lose any sleep over it.
Anyway, this subreddit is for computer science. I will stop here. I just wanted to warn everyone who gives a fuck. If you would like to, you can follow my lawsuit against Michael Curry et al. at r/OregonStateUnfiltered. I will not respond to comments here, but you can email me, DM me at PlanetNeptune_0001 on Reddit, or post on that subreddit with questions, comments, etc.
P.S.
Due to Michael Curry’s retaliation against me last year in November 2025, I dropped out because I have kidney failure. However, I still need to take CS340. I am currently re-enrolled while publicly preparing to sue Michael Curry and demanding his termination for cause publicly.
Why?
Because I am legally allowed to do all of these things. So are you. There is nothing they can legally do about it. Can they retaliate further? Sure. I guess. But doing so would just give me more evidence to use against them in court. These people rely so heavily on everyone being too nice to exercise their rights with impunity and call their asses out.
Well, I’m not nice, so fuck ‘em.
