Description
During a telephone conversation, Thomas-Smith, the Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs of Prairie View A&M University ("Prairie View"), questioned Dr. Gerard Rambally, the Dean of Arts and Science of Prairie View, about Ramballys reasons for recommending Mackin, a Ph.D. in chemical oceanography, to be appointed interim Chairman of the Prairie View Chemistry Department and about not having assigned Mackin a full teaching load for the upcoming semester. One of Thomas-Smiths questions or comments in this conversation was to the effect that Mackin and Rambally had a "love" or "lover" relationship. After Mackin, a married man, learned of this comment (the "comment"), he filed this action for slander against Thomas-Smith. The case was tried to a jury, and judgment was entered in accordance with the jurys verdict, awarding Mackin $40,000 in damages against Thomas-Smith.
