Hi, I can't add to the suggestions send to you, but to add my support.
Also, as "they" say thank  you for sharing this unjust situation.  Keeping
your courage up, maintaining faith in your career missions is a huge
challenge.  I agree that the comments you have received are outstanding and
productive.    It will send me to join AAUP and to check up on my own legal
support system.  If I can help you folks in any way, let me know.  My best
to you and your spouse.

Joann Jelly

TIPsters,

I really want to thank everyone for their support - expressed in both 
public and private messages.  I have been trying to thank everyone 
personally, but in case I have missed someone - thanks again!

Things have calmed down a bit following the initial shock on Friday.  Local 
support is starting to materialize, so my wife's initial feeling that she 
had been abandoned by the university has faded at least a bit.

One of the best pieces of advice was to contact the AAUP.  We had not 
considered that because neither of us is an AAUP member.  But, my wife has 
been told that she is protected by the AAUP even if not a member!  Now 
*that* is a great organization.  The local AAUP rep has already informed 
her that the university has violated several of its own policies - policies 
which, if followed, would have made the whole process seem a lot less 
adversarial.

I will post periodic updates.  This will probably take quite a while to 
resolve, but the whole process feels a lot better than it did even 24 hours 
ago.

Thanks again!  This list really is populated by a classy bunch of folks.

-- Jim

P.S.  My wife and I are both planning to fill out those AAUP membership 
forms first thing in the morning!
