Bernstein has been a popular professor at Wesleyan for 21 years. His most recent contract extension as a Visiting Associate Professor in the College of Letters, however, terminates at the end of the 2000-2001 school year. Needless to say, the case is a complex one and can only be understood through a close reading of the University bylaws. But let s face it this University has broken the by-laws before when the situation suited its purpose. These examples comprise the basic tenets of the blue book, yet they have been consistently broken.
Red tape is a weak excuse.
The Administration sits impotently, tangled in red tape, while they wrap the tape ever tighter around themselves. The students must have a say in these decisions. Our voice is crucial to Wesleyan. President Bennet cites the increase in alumni donations and the five-year plan as heralds of a promising future. The administration has broken both its arms patting itself on the back.
