Brandt Overrules VP to Promote Two SIUC English Instructors
Southern Illinois University Carbondale President Warren W. Brandt said he will recommend promoting Joan Martin and Lois Richman to assistant professor, effective last August, overturning vice president Frank Horton who argued they had not done research. The professors have master’s degrees, with teaching duties focused on composition, and previously appealed a grievance board ruling in their favor. Three consultants urged promotion, but Brandt said their report did not affect his decision.
