Professor resigns from St. John's and publicly airs a tenure fight

Article Abstract:

Steven P. McSloy has resigned his assistant professorship at St. John's University School of Law and written a public letter to the law school community criticizing the dean and faculty. McSloy, an expert on Native American law who seemed to be a rising star in the legal education community, was up for accelerated tenure at St. John's and became upset when some comments made about him at the tenure meeting were passed on to him. Dean Rudolph C. Hasl feels tenure procedures are sound but would like to find a way to prevent leaks of matters discussed in faculty meetings.
