was fired fefr doing inadequate
work as “a bunch of foolishness.”
Wade said that in 1995, he
learned that his division of Stu
dent Academic Support and Stu
dent Services (now known as
Student Affairs) would be reor
ganized in the wake of Vice
Provost Gerry Moseley’s retire
ment. Three new positions were
created, and Wade said he was
qualified for and would have ap
plied for any of them, had they
not been filled. Wade alleges that
the University filled the posi
tions without opening them to
other applicants.
Wade felt he had been passed
over for promotions and pay raises
because he is African-American,
so he sued the University.
“In all of our literature and
publications, we suggest that the
University is an equal opportuni
ty employer,” he said. “This is a
classic example where that was
not the case.”
The suit was settled in 1998,
with the provisions that the Uni
versity would further its efforts to
diversify its workforce and com
plete a salary review for Wade. But
Wade now says that he was sub
jected to differential treatment af
ter the suit was settled and that the
University failed to live up to the
terms of the settlement.
“After the original agreement
was made, the provost attempted
in any way possible to discredit
my work,” he said. “There was a
suggestion made that the way the
University handled academic ad
vising resulted in a high turnover
rate for students. That’s not true.”
According to Ken Lehrman, di
rector of Affirmative Action and
Equal Opportunity, lawsuits
based on discrimination are ex
tremely rare.
“Partly that’s because these cas
es are extremely hard to prove,” he
said. “But it’s also partly because
the University does a good job of
not discriminating. And if a case
occurs, we do a good job resolving
the problem internally.”
However, Wade seems to dis
agree. His attorney, Suzanne Chan
ti, filed a complaint with the Lane
County Circuit Court, charging the
University, Moseley and the state
with violating both the United
States and Oregon constitutions and
the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
On July 18, a motion to stay pro
ceedings was filed, which stated
that the parties involved in settle
ment .discussions “would like to
further those discussions without
being hampered with additional
costs of litigation.” According to
Kristen Grainger, executive assis
tant to the Attorney General, a mo
tion to stay proceedings is usually
intended to halt official proceed
ings while the involved parties as
sess their cases.
Wade, who worked at the Uni
versity for nearly 30 years, is ask
ing for lost wages (at the rate of
$70,000 a year), compensatory and
punitive damages in an amount
not to exceed $3 million, and rein
statement to his former position.

Jim Adams
continued from page 1A
Calif. — his dad as a fraud investi
gator and his mom as a problem
resolution specialist.
He recalls that when he logged
on to the family computer to play
“Pong,” he had to enter four pass
words just to reach the program.
The IRS demanded Jim’s dad
keep a tight lid on confidential fi
nancial files.
Disneyland? Jim was all over that
place as a youngster. When he was
9 years old, his family moved to
Fullerton, Calif., a sunny city of
124,000 only 30 minutes by free
way from America’s playground.
On holidays, his relatives would
line up visits with Jim’s family so*
the kids could romp across The
Matterhorn and Space Mountain.
Jim was a savvy navigator of the
amusement park’s unending lines,
and he loved to check out the glitz
and cartoon glam of the Electrical
Parade and its firework show.
Slowly, Mickey Mouse and com
pany were supplanted in Jim’s
imagination by a stream of silver
screen classics from Hollywood.
“I love movies,” Adams says. “In
high school, we went to the beach
or to the Spectrum, an outdoor mall
with movie theaters.”
“The Shawshank Redemption”
ranks highest on Jim’s list of must
sees because of its undeniable as
sertion that attitude determines re
ality. He finds it comforting on
overcast and spongy Eugene days
when his mood tends to tank.
“Especially when that line hits,”
Adams says. “When he’s driving
along the coast and Morgan Free
man is narrating something like,
‘Andy Dufresne waddled through
500 yards of crap and still came out
clean on the other side.’”
When he’s not watching
movies, studying game film, prac
ticing or hanging with friends, Jim
is working toward a history major.

He loves to study the implica
tions, causes and strategies of war,
and says, not lightheartedly, that
America’s response to the terrorist
attacks is warranted.
“It’s something we had to do” be
cause if the terrorist’s actions had
gone unchecked, they would have
become emboldened to commit fur
ther atrocities, Adams says.
The circumstances leading to
America’s actions and the resolu
tion of its war on terrorism may
be subjects touched on in Jim’s
class some day. He would like to
teach high school classes and
coach football.
“Well, I like the idea of coaching
football because when my time is
up, I want to continue to be in
volved in it somehow,” Adams
says. “And I like the idea of teach
ing because you get summers off.”
