Chancellor Bud Davis was
one of three defendents held
liable in a legal dispute over the
firing of a former University of
New Mexico professor who says
he was wrongfully "caught in
the web" of an athletic scandal
The federal court jury, which
delivered its verdict Aug 31,
found the University of New
Mexico, former UNM president
Bud Davis and another admin
istrator liable for punitive
damages of $147,500
Davis was ordered to pay
$30,000 in damages to Harold
Bailey, former head of UNM s
Afro-American studies pro
gram Davis' secretary in
Eugene said the verdict is being
appealed and that the Davis
would have no comment on the
case
Bailey told the jury that the
university used the scandal as
an excuse to fire him Davis and
Marvin "Swede” Johnson, one
of UNM's vice presidents, "were
architects of a plan to get rid of
Harold Bailey," said Bailey's
attorney, Steven Farber
By awarding punitive
damages, the jury decided
Davis and Johnson had acted in
a malicious, wanton or oppres
sive manner in terminating
Bailey s contract, according to
Farber
According to UNM. Bailey
was dismissed because of his
involvement with an athletic
scandal, which concerned
questionable entries on

transcripts for some of UNM's
basketball players
At the trial, Farber presented
evidence showing that the
NCAA charged Bailey with al
tering course records, giving
credit to basketball player
Jimmy Alien for a course he did
not attend UNM records show
Allen as receiving an "incom
plete."
Bailey, 35, first filed suit in
1980 He claims his outspoken
ness on the problems of black
athletes while coordinator of the
Afro-American studies program
was the reason behind his dis
missal. not the athletic scandal
Davis has denied the decision
to dismiss Bailey was improper,
saying the university acted on
the advice of legal counsel in
making the decision.
According to Jon Zorn, one of
the university's lawyers, holding
Davis and Johnson liable for
punitive damages was inappro
priate because they were acting
on the University’s behalf, not
as individuals
