Due Process at the University Of Washington

Why the UW Senate NEEDS its own attorneys.

A good deal of the reason for The AVE has been my concern about administrative abuse of faculty rights. As one example, The AVE has provided extensive coverage of the Aprikyan affair. Now we will likely never find out whether Andrew Aprikyan ever did anything wrong. Instead a team of lawyers, h[...]
