Contract, A Property Right Under the Fourteenth Amendment? Vail v. Board of Education.
McDonald, Diane K.
College and University, v11 n4 p445-64 Spr 1985
A 1976 court opinion that federal court is not an appropriate forum for reviewing public agency employment is undermined in a 1983 ruling that a teacher employment contract creates a property right sufficient to raise a claim. This conflicts with established doctrine and creats new uncertainty in public employment contract disputes. (Author/MSE)
