It’s hard to imagine we can move constructively forward if we have to go through what is a lengthy tenure process, and then probably a court process. I have to weigh that against the political advantage and talk show advantage, people continuing to take shots (against CU) against that I do want to take a principled stand, and that if a professor is not meeting the high standards of the University, that person should not be rewarded."
