   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1623
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] Loken, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In action alleging defendants retaliated 
   against plaintiff after he engaged in protected speech concerning 
   preferential treatment for student-athletes at the University of Missouri 
   Kansas City, the district court erred in determining defendants Vaught and 
   Bassa were not entitled to qualified immunity on plaintiff's First 
   Amendment retaliation claims; plaintiff failed to allege that the 
   defendants knew of plaintiff's protected speech when they declined to 
   recommend him for reappointment.
