OPINION
MUIR, District Judge.
Plaintiff Deake G. Porter brought this suit under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, seeking reinstatement to his position as professor of Economics at Bloomsburg State College and compensation for emoluments denied him since his allegedly unconstitutional dismissal from that position.

The motion will be denied for the reasons set forth below.
