Manes v. Dallas Baptist College

AKIN, Justice.

Dr. Charles Manes appeals from a summary judgment granted against him in his suit for breach of his employment contract with Dallas Baptist College. Dr. Manes was discharged by the College’s Board of Trustees for alleged insubordination. Dr. Manes then sued alleging that he was terminated without cause, in breach of his employment contract. The College moved for summary judgment, which was granted, on the ground that the contract provided for common law arbitration. Because the trial judge improperly construed the employment contract, we reverse the judgment and remand for trial.
