At Nunez Community College, the administration terminated the services of an associate professor of English with 22 years of service, and the
AAUP investigating committee determined that the professor was not given the dismissal hearing to which he was entitled as the result of having obtained de facto tenure through length of service.
Saltzman notes, because terminations for "financial exigency" and for "program discontinuance" do not imply misconduct or poor performance by an individual professor, the courts and the
AAUP give institutions some leeway, in just these two instances, to show tenured professors the door.
When, as Daniel Pollitt and Jordan Kurland note, the first five cases were formally heard by the
AAUP, they were only the latest in a long line of aggrieved faculty members and administrators, with many more to come.
Formal reports such as the AAUW, the
AAUP and the Chronicle of Higher Education all point to an immediate solution of bring a gender discrimination case against the employing University.
The
AAUP (2000) defined the preferred teaching load as nine hours per week for undergraduate education and six hours per week for graduate education in order for faculty to be effective in teaching and scholarship.

AAUP) in their "1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure" notes:
Prior to her retirement, Edyth was employed by the
AAUP in Storrs for several years.
In a joint letter the American Civil Liberties Union, American Association of University Professors (
AAUP) and PEN American Center had urged the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, expressing concern over the denial of a visa to Joya.
