Before POSNER, Chief Judge, and CUMMINGS and EVANS, Circuit Judges.


POSNER, Chief Judge.

The plaintiff was employed as a lawyer by Indiana University. He was fired, and sued the University, seeking damages. The suit charges national-origin discrimination (the plaintiff is Hispanic) in violation both of Title VII and the equal protection clause.
