Recently, an instructor at Roosevelt University in Chicago was
fired...for allowing students to discuss Zionism in a World Religions
class: see www.rafo.org.

You can't fire someone you haven't hired.

He'd been teaching there since 2003.

But, as noted elsewhere, the complaint was that his application to
teach a new semester, for which he had not been hired, was refused.

If all your employees have to reapply for their jobs a few times
a year, then you never have to fire anyone.

Which is the union's point. Roosevelt cannot act in bad faith and
replace its fulltime staffed by adjuncts paid by the class because
constructively the adjuncts are fulltime employees in reality.

The problem is that in Chicago, an appellate court judge who also
pretends to be a public intellectual and who teaches law, Richard
Posner, thinks it's oh so very efficient that ALL employment
relationships, except for those of tenured Federal judges of course, be
continuously negotiable in real time.
