Academic Freedom and Tenure: Nunez Community College (Louisiana)
American Association of University Professors
This report concerns actions taken in spring 2018 by the administration of Nunez Community College to terminate the services of Professor Richard Schmitt following his twenty-second year on the faculty. These actions were taken in apparent violation of his academic freedom and without affordance of the protections of academic due process to which he was entitled as the result of having obtained de facto tenure at the institution through length of full-time service. [The text of this report was written in the first instance by the members of the investigating committee. ]
