I think the way to read the response of the Faculty Comittee is this. He was an adjunct he hasn't earned the protection of academic freedom. He gets to keep his job if he fulfills what we feel like is necessary to be a member of our community. We feel like he's a negative experience for students and we don't think his addition is worthwhile. I'm all for not indulging the carebears but the message "You were allowed to stick around after you failed because we thought we could use you and felt sorry for you. But we don't like you and some of our students don't like you. Go find another job." That is not a carebear handling of things if he wanted to have academic freedom he had a right to get tenure. He's an adjunct he needs to act like it. This is very much like Augusta where the don't have formal rules some things are simply frowned upon and its your responsibility to understand the culture of the club. It was his responsibility to understand the culture of the faculty in his tenuous position. That is a very important lesson for him and for students by his example.
