William and Mary Denies Work Permit for Librarian Candidate
A College of William and Mary official says the school will press on to hire Oxford University librarian Clifford Currie as chief librarian despite the Labor Department denial of a work permit. The college has until Sept. 18 to appeal the decision to a Washington administrative law judge. Currie, a Canadian citizen, has been at Oxford for six years and was slated to start Oct. 1, facing opposition from several Swem Library staff and a department claim that qualified U.S. citizens exist for the post.
