In 1979 judicial activity continued to add to the body of law available relative to relationships between universities and colleges and their employees. Cases touched on the nature of the contract when an offer of employment has been made and accepted, benefits and working conditions, and termination and the procedural safeguards involved. Decisions in matters of sex discrimination in employment and in retirement programs were particularly significant. The Seventh Circuit's opinion in "Davis v. Weidner" suggests specific ways of injecting a more reasonable degree of judicial scrutiny into university decision-making than has traditionally been the case. (Author/PGD)
