85 Harv. L. Rec. 1 (1987)

handle is hein.journals/hlrec85 and id is 1 raw text is: America's Oldest Law School Newspaper SEPTEMBER 18, 1987 25 CENTS Bok Vetoes Trubek, Reviews Dalton Bid By David Snouffer Harvard President Derek Bok last spring overruled the HLS faculty's plans to offer a full professorship to David Trubek, a visiting professor at HLS in 1986-87, and during the summer Bok began a reexamination of the faculty's divided vote to deny tenure to Assistant Professor Clare Dalton, LL.M, '73.

Bell said last week that he remained in his office for 80 hours during the Commencement period last June to protest the Dal- ton and Trubek actions. Dalton and her supporters charge that she was a victim of gender and political discrimination, and during the summer Dalton threatened to sue Harvard if Bok does not offer her a tenured position. The faculty's vote in favor of Tru- bek evoked little public comment at the time, but his bid had received sometimes intense opposition from about a dozen tenured professors, Horwitz said.
