Censured and Sanctioned Institutions in California

 

Censured and Sanctioned Institutions in California
Loma Linda University (California)

The 1992 annual meeting placed the Loma Linda University administration on censure following a published report on its actions to dismiss three professors. The report concluded that the administration had acted in disregard of the “1958 Statement on Procedural Standards in Faculty Dismissal Proceedings” by denying them academic due process.

Two of the dismissed professors had initiated litigation, and eight years later their cases were resolved by settlement agreement. The settlements prompted correspondence between a Loma Linda University vice chancellor and the Association's staff about achieving removal of the censure, with the staff proposing requisite changes in the university's policies on academic freedom and tenure. No progress during the past year in effecting these changes can be reported, however.

A complete list of administrations on the AAUP censure list is available from the national AAUP website. See: http://www.aaup.org/Com-a/Censure.htm

Administrations placed on the Association's sanction list (for serious infringements of generally accepted standards of college and university government) are listed at http://www.aaup.org/governance/sanctio.htm
