JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge:
Four former employees of Threadgill Day Care Center in Greenwood, Mississippi filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, against Mississippi State Valley University, the sponsor of the Center, and against the Center’s Board of Directors. The employees alleged that they lost their jobs in violation of their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights and that the University and Board are not shielded by the Eleventh Amendment. We are not persuaded by their argument and affirm the decision of the trial court below.
