Former Truett-McConnell University President Emir Caner has filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the Baptist school.

Caner contends trustees lacked credible reasoning to dismiss him, and he noted his 10-year contract — which was extended through 2031 — allowed for removal only for cause.
Trustees reportedly fired Caner following an investigation into how he handled sexual misconduct allegations involving a former vice president, according to reports. Caner maintains he had no prior knowledge of Bradley Reynolds’ alleged misconduct, and argues he handled the situation appropriately. The university has reportedly not yet responded in court.
