. Ness Initially gave no reasons
for firing Mezey, but later gave
several, among them Mezey's
■transience; • the number of posts
he had held over a short period
of time: an English Department
evaluation critical of Mezey's
teaching methods: and complaints by students about Mezey's
classroom conduct.
Marson said the complaints
about Mezey stopped after the
department evaluation, and that a
later evaluation - which the defense charged Ness chose to
Ignore - noted a "marked Improvement" in Mezey's teaching,
and highly praised him.
Mezey'a defense questioned
Ness' credibility; and charged
that Neas fired Mezey because
of his controversial statements
and then "deliberately set out on
an after-the-fact search for anything damaging he could And.*
Mezey's defense also charged
he was denied due process when
be. was fired, saying Ness "did
not use most ...» of the consultative procedures available to
him and called the personnel
committee which heard Mezey's
appeal as a "circus."
Dr. Dale Burtner. dean of arts
and sciences during the Mezey
controversy, strongly recommended Mezey's retention, but
the College Personnel Committee and the Academic Vice President, Dr. Dallas Tueller, urged
his severance for reasons Marson   charged  'based solely on
