Jury Nullification

Print Jury awards $1 to professor fired for 9/11-Nazi essay.

A professor was fired after calling the 9/11 victims little Eichmans. The university claims it was because of sloppy scholarship (he was a professor of ethnic studies—is there anything but sloppy scholarship in those fields?).

The jury found in his favour but only awarded him $1. Is this a form of jury nullification?
