A Crusade against Cronyism or a Breach of Collegiality?
Leatherman, Courtney
Chronicle of Higher Education, v46 n44 pA12-14 Jul 7, 2000
Details the case of a third-year assistant history professor at Yale University (Connecticut) who was denied reappointment. Raises issues such as the hiring by a department of its own Ph.D.'s, cronyism within departments and fields, denial of reappointment as punishment for criticizing powerful individuals, and the undue influence of a few individuals in departmental decisions.
