privacy should- be ~respected. But
said Ward, if he wants to make the
reasons public he should have that
choice and that information.
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."

- Thomas Hindes cited lack of
confidence in the Law School

The tenure committee had
originally asked Barvick to leave
at the end of the academic year.
However, in August, it asked him
to present his case for recon
-ideratiQn. Bravick refused and
resigned.
"The rehearing would just be a
sham," Barvick said, in explaining
his resignation. "It was really
intolerable to stay there. Barvick

Contacted at his home in Jef
ferson City, Barvick said there was
a "definite lack of candor at the
Law Center. He complained it was
hard to get an "honest
asscssment" of one's work.
You conic'. Rarvick said, go a
long time at the USCLaw Center
"without hearing anything about
your work or hearino good things
about you "and still find yourself
axed. They are very Dizarre auout
keeping everything secret,"
Barvick said.
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

Professor Donald Weidner says
he left USC to teach at Cleveland,
Ohio, because of the "promotion
and tenure decisions made in the
spring. 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."

various reasons have left the USC
Law Center this year. But only the
