“A suspension which is not followed by either reinstatement or the opportunity for a hearing is in effect a summary dismissal in violation of academic due process.” – 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure with Interpretive Comments
The AAUP sent a letter to University of Nebraska-Lincoln administrators today regarding the dismissal of a sixth-year doctoral student with a part-time appointment as a lecturer in the English department. She had been suspended in September for protesting the presence on campus of a recruitment table for Turning Point USA, a right-wing organization that maintains the Professor Watchlist website.
