In the suit, USC contends that ion-professionals do not have the jxperience necessary to evaluate a :afiiltv mpmhpr's riprformanrp as well as his peers can. FRANCIS BORKOWSKI, USC provost, said the Zeltner decision "was not unexpected. The basis for the reinstatement is the same used in other grievance cases, so it was certainly not unexpected." The reinstatement action of th grievance committee furthei complicates university tenure procedures, Borkowski said.

BOKKOWSKI ADDED that he doesn't expect the Zeltner decision by the grievance committee to have any affect on the lawsuit USC has introduced. "I think it (the decision) will have very little effect. I think the suit will stand on its own basis.
