Reagan's plans may backfire
A small claims court Judge In New York City has rendered
a decision that could reverberate through colleges across the
country and back Gov. Reagan against the wall.
Judge Patrick J. Plcarlello ruled that New York University
officials breached the college's contract with students last spring
when NYU closed down following the Kent state University killings.
The Judge awarded the son of Queens fireman Roger Paynter a
$277 tuition refund.
NYU   Is  now  appealing  the   ruling,   but   if the Judgment stands,
it could open the door for yet another fiscal attack on
college.!. Ij
And the California state Colleges could be among them. Why?
Because Gov. Reagan, In a mawkish appeal for votes, shut down
the colleges for two days last May.

Professor Thomas M. Brig-

department the choice of selecting members to serve on the consultant team. Brlgham said Baxter told him the consultant team
would not start its evaluation of
the department's operation until
Christmas.
Brlgham said he did not know
how many people would be on
the consultant team. Its structure has not yet been "tightly
defined,* he said.
According to Brlgham, the consultant teanT~wlll 'attempt to
assess the strengths and weaknesses and roots of our present
difficulties (personnel).
He added that the consultant
team's purpose was not to be
used as 'cover-upj to review
and evaluate th£3epartment's
personnel, but rather, the consultant team was to openly review the department's problems.
■I feel the personnel trouble
may be Indicative' of others
(troubles), such as philosophical
differences concerning the aims
and goals of the School of Social
Work," he said.
Baxter is required by law to
announce faculty tenure decisions
by Dec. 1. However, If the consultant team (which Is not to go
Into operation until after Dec.
1) finds additional Information
about a faculty members, Baxter
may weigh this new Information
and change the tenure decision
either In favor of or against
the instructor, depending on the
original tenure decision.
Dutton charged the conflicts in
