Committee finds Corlett's actions 'retaliatory'
Oct. 16, 2006In response to Dean Corlett's letter to the Post last Friday, the Executive Committee of the Ohio University chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) raises concern about the treatment of Professor Ashok Gupta. Dean Corlett explains that he stripped Professor Gupta of the O'Bleness professorship two years ago. He did more than that. He threatened Professor Gupta with detenuring, a serious move indeed. As the Faculty Senate's Professional Relations Committee (PRC) found, Corlett's act constituted an attempt to coerce Dr. Gupta while circumventing G? proper procedure. The PRC went on to conclude that the Dean's actions were retaliatory in nature. The AAUP believes it important to point this out now in light of Dean Corlett's claims. We have communicated these Faculty Senate findings to the state and national AAUP offices, and they too have expressed concern over the case.
