University Professors Open Investigation of Dr. Ivor Van Heerden Dismissal by LSU
~The American Association of University Professor's (AAUP) general secretary has authorized an investigation into alleged violations of academic freedom, tenure, and due process at Louisiana State University.
The investigation, which will be carried out by a committee of AAUP members with no previous involvement in the situation, will focus on issues of concern surrounding the termination of the appointment of professor Ivor Van Heern.
The LSU administration was notified of the investigation.
~Special Thanks Youz to Sandy Rosenthal for grabbing this and posting it on Huffington Post!
~Editilla Notellas~ We haven't found this Investigation covered in any news media as yet, particularly locally. Hence, it is gratifying to see the Actual Heavy Weight Support for Dr. Van Heerden described by Mrs Rosenthal in her Huff Post.
Dr. Ivor van Heerden is NOT ALONE HERE.
His last official day at LSU is May 15th so y'all get ready.
