.-\ professor has filed a lawsuit
against L‘K. accusing it of violating its
contract when denying him tentire.

Roger Home. a history professor at
the l’ikeville campus at I’restonsburg
Community College, alleged last week
in a lawsuit that the L'niversity violat—
ed its written contract with him when
he went up for tenure because. Ilorne
said, they allowed him more time than
he shotild have been given.

“The basic claim t at was sent was I
was supposed to have a six-year proba-
tionary period. It indicated that I could

apply some of the time I had teaching
before I C‘Jltlc to L'K, and so I was very
eager to try to get through the tenure
process," said Horne, who originally
taught at community colleges in ()kla-
homa. “I had been teaching for about I()
years; everything seemed to he in order."
\Vhen IIorne went up for tenure in
I993, he said he figured “everything was
being done in good faith." The following
year he turned in his portfolio and waited
for the committee to make its decision.
Ilorne found out injanuary oflast
year that the committee had denied
him because, he said, he had not been
involved enough in professional orga-
nizations, and didn’t perform enough

community services.

A member of the American l'iedera—
tion of’l‘eachers union, be contacted
the orgaiiilation. which helped him
ptit together his case.

David Iiiiiersoii, a Lexington .ittt >riiey
hired to represent Home. has sent otit
the summons to the L'iiiversity. which
has 20 days. starting yesterday. to answer
the complaint or file for an extensii in.

Meanwhile. IIorne Iias until june
50 of this year before he is let go or.
“unless something happens." he said.

“I was probab y a little naive in not
thinking the contract through serious-
ly," Ilorne said. “'I‘I‘MI'S not what mat»
ters now. \\'hat matters now is they

violated the contract."

Iloi'ne said WIIL‘II he went back to
[lie tenurecommittee. it said tlietlccti
sioii was final.

"The contract I signed said .i iii.i\i
iiiiim oftlii‘ee years outside oftlic L Illr

tially they ga\ e me more outside time
than I should lia\e been given. I was
only there for a little less than two
years, which is hardly enough time to
accumulate, and I'd barely gotten a
chance to get familiar with the stu»
dents and develop my teaching style."

Liniversity officials do not comment
on pending lawsuits.
