Ellenor Zinski was fired by Liberty University after disclosing her gender identity as a transgender woman.

The ACLU of Virginia and Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of Zinski .

Liberty Counsel says the lawsuit was set up to make an example of the university for standing its ground.

The university says the Civil Rights Act allows religious institutions to make employment decisions consistent with their religious doctrine.

The case could linger far beyond that, if there are appeals eventually leading to the U.S. Supreme Court .

The lawsuit seeks damages of $ 300,000 on behalf of Zinski , as well as a declaration that the university's handling of the case violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act .
