The Board of Trustees at University of La Verne told law professor Diane Klein this week that its decision to strip her of tenure is final. In doing so, ULV ignores both the unanimous vote of the university s Promotion and Tenure Committee to reinstate her and the school s own policies, which guarantee Klein a meaningful appeal.
All the substantive matters being alleged against me are flimsy and pretextual, Klein tells FIRE. At worst, minor infractions of a sort committed routinely throughout the university without significant consequences.
The real reason for all of this is my involvement in faculty governance and, ironically, the protection of tenure, especially at the College of Law.
Now, Klein says, she will sue to protect her rights.
