The truth is, his scholarly record is above all others in his department. When he was up for tenure and accused of not having adequate scholarship, another faculty member in the department received tenure whose scholarship no more fit the criteria for tenure than the glass slipper fit Cinderella's wicked stepsister's feet. I am extremely hurt and disappointed to realize how unfair and unjust the faculty and administration can be at Loyola. The rules on tenure and promotion specified by the faculty handbook have been broken. Just saying you are professional, that your institution is fair and just, doesn't make it so.
Beautiful words can mask a scope of disparity.
When a checks and balance system is ignored, and problems go uncorrected, injustice becomes the mother of all. I think that most college students know the dangers of cliques and conformity, and the retaliation of group members when someone doesn't comply with the group norm. I personally want to thank Ray's students and colleagues, who have been very supportive. The support and dedication of everyone is something very valuable and appreciated. You are individuals who stand above the crowd.
