William Boyd to offer her a fixed-term appointment. The pol icy change had no effect on the committee’s recommendations in the case, Rousseve asserts. “It was agreed that persons on the tenure tracks at the time the new policy was established had the right to remain there and be governed by the guidelines under which they were appointed,” he explains. “Mrs. Willard’s adminis trative performance was reviewed as fully as possible.” The main criterion in granting administrative tenure is whether the candidate has demonstrated a strong, noteworthy level of per formance higher than that re quired for initial appointment, he added. If there is a “reasonable doubt,” tenure is refused. “Because there were mixed comments regarding her adminis trative performance in the job, there were those who suggested to Myra that it would be less risky to opt for the fixed-term appoint ment,” Rousseve says. “When you grant a person administrative tenure, it means that person can remain at the University until re tirement." Rousseve freely says that sev eral persons, including himself, advised Willard against seeking tenure. “It was not a matter of coercion,” he maintains. “When you explain to someone what the alternatives are, I don’t think that’s coercion." Because administrative tenure does not necessarily insure that a person will occupy a particular of fice indefinitely. Adaptability to new job requirements and the capability to be employed in other comparable positions were also measured by the committee. The review process included letters, phone conversations and interviews that were summarized, signed, and placed in Willard’s file. She did not waive her right to see the file, Rousseve says. The committee contacted a var iety of academic, administrative and classified staff members for the review. “It was a very mixed population that we sampled," he adds. “Her job performance was judged to be effective enough to support an argument for con tinuance but there was a reason able doubt in the end and there fore, the committee could not in good conscience recommend her for tenure.” The committee completed its evaluation by mid-May. and Boyd denied Willard’s request for te nure status based on its recom mendations June 30th. However, Rousseve says the University has not been as forth right as it “should have been" in Willard’s case in some instances and stressed that he did not necessarily agree with its handl ing of affirmative action policies in many respects. “I stand with Myra Willard in recognizing that the University’s record to date with respect to the hiring of minorities and women does leave something to be de sired,” Rousseve says. “In some cases, policies and procedures worked out with the Affirmative Action office appear not to have been fully im plemented or followed. However, it’s my considered opinion that the deficiencies that do exist can be resolved within the campus com munity or the state system, with out recourse to court litigation or excessive external surveillance " Serving with Rousseve on the administrative personnel review committee for Willard were Catherine Jones, assistant dean of the Business school; W.N. McLaughlin, University Business Affairs director; Adell McMillan, EMU director; and committee chairer Donald Moon Lee, assis tant housing director. briefs INTERVIEWS Interview sign-up sheets are now posted for the U S Navy in Room 246 Susan Campbell Hal All majors are eigible July 24 Candidates tor Navy Intelligence Offic ers.
