Secrecy over such decisions, according to Ward, "leads to rumor and speculation" 'about unfair reasons. It may be that such reasons do not exist but, said Ward, "you bring this on you if you keep your mouth shut." Professor Randall Bell also sees "some justifiable ground" for keeping tenure deliberations private. But, "to a certain extent, everybody should know something." One reason why there is demand for more public ipformation, Bell suggested, is because "a large body of students and faculty have lost confidence in the ad ministration. "There is a d ifference," 13ell said, "between di-agreeing wit the administration and having a lack of confidence in it'. It's because of the latter, Bell suggested, that some people in the Law Center are insistent about getting"the reasons on the table. Theneed to know in creases as confidence decreases."

Professor Hindes, who also resigned this year, said he left because it appeared to him than there had been some ''unreasonable decisions" made. Speaking from his office at the University of Wesl Virginia Law Sch,;,., Hindes said he wanted to leave before his turn came because "it was impossible to have con fidence that I would be treated fairly." Disturbed over the tenure decisions, Professor Joseph Jacobs went to see Foster. "I spoke to Foster about it,"Jacobs said, "and I told him I was concerned.

People were being denied promotion who deserved promotion." "The Dean told me that we were a group of young people on the faculty who were very negative."
