commended against granting her
indefinite administrative tenure, it
unanimously advised University
Pres. 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.
