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.

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! --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
