If the deans decision was overturned in the case of her friend

is there then an appeal process where that might be possible in your wife case?? Sure would allow that process to work itself out before I would involve lawyers. Get some of those associate professors that were not allowed on the committee to write recommendations on her behalf for any appeal.
I'm just a dentist though and know nothing of higher edumication.

Are there any labor lawyers on the board? We think we have a case. -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 3:13PM

I'm a VT prof, so my experience is different, but I have a few questions... -- BB Hokie 11/05/2018 5:43PM

It's strange, but yes, it's a committee of around 40 full professors. ** -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 6:31PM

In general, if you get denied tenure, you get a one-year terminal -- BB Hokie 11/05/2018 5:47PM

Oh, I didn't realize that. -- HokieSignGuy 11/05/2018 5:50PM

Most schools (public and private) follow a similar schedule... -- BB Hokie 11/05/2018 6:06PM

Ohhh, thanks. fully clear now. ** -- HokieSignGuy 11/05/2018 6:13PM

Welcome Kamikaze, but I find it interesting that a Hoo is asking for legal -- Late 80s Hokie 11/05/2018 4:07PM

He's looking for competent legal advice ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 11/05/2018 4:25PM

I’m guessing @Cabell Massie IV didn’t come through? ** -- YardBird 11/05/2018 4:57PM

A few thoughts from a labor lawyer. -- RoswellGAHokie 11/05/2018 3:45PM

I would be very careful with the next steps -- HokieAl 11/05/2018 3:42PM

I'm biased, but yes, she's pretty hot if that's what you mean ;) ** -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 3:48PM

Which of course contributes to ongoing issues of sexism in the workplace. ** -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 3:49PM

Labor lawyers died with the unions. FEP sharks are the best. Money? -- grill to chill 11/05/2018 3:21PM

Have you spoken with any of the multiple previous candidates? -- Nova Hokie 95 11/05/2018 3:17PM

One candidate last year (and a friend) encountered a similar hurdle. -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 3:30PM

What state are you in? -- Nova Hokie 95 11/05/2018 3:35PM

Not Virginia ** -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 3:39PM

Was the friend granted tenure? ** -- CPRVHokie 11/05/2018 3:32PM

Yes, the dean's negative vote was overturned at the next higher level. ** -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 3:33PM

Any chance that happens for your fiancée? ** -- CPRVHokie 11/05/2018 3:35PM

Strong chance, I think. Probably 75% ** -- Kamikaze Hoo 11/05/2018 3:39PM

Don’t mess that up by suggesting legal action. ** -- CPRVHokie 11/05/2018 3:58PM

Truth. ** -- HokieSignGuy 11/05/2018 4:25PM
