A Department Head was hired without a faculty vote for hiring, for tenure or for rank. Evaluation results of Deans are sometimes not disclosed to their faculty. Some Department Heads are not evaluated by their faculty. Faculty members were given million dollar chairs and tenure after a nearly unanimous negative vote of tenured faculty members. University administrators have ignored written employment contracts.
Administrators can refuse to testify before the faculty grievance committee.
Essentially, administrators can do almost anything they wish because of our institutional structure. LSU then hires downtown, non-university lawyers to handle the lawsuits. These outside lawyers have no reason to compromise because they collect more fees the longer the lawsuits are open. LSU has no on-campus risk management system. The major problem with PM-35 is a huge loophole.
