Describe the situation around the termination of Mr. Walls' contract and criticize the actions of the University administration.
The University, for whatever, reason decided to terminate Mr. Walls' contract.  It was an amazingly "one-sided" document..ostensibly written for four years....but, with a "without cause" clause which allowed the University to terminate it with only one month's notice.  The administration exercised that legal right and terminated Mr. Walls with no stated "cause".....that was perfectly legal...however "unfair" it might seem.  On the other hand, perhaps they did have "cause" but chose to "take the easy way out" and not go through the hassle of proving any justification for his termination.  They experienced considerable "blowback" because of their actions and, it seems, decided to "buy off" Mr. Walls for $90K...."here that this damn money and go away!"  The whole fiasco reflects very badly on the administration...these guys make too much money to be so horribly incompetent...Gary Crum
