Reinstate Dr. Rachel Tudor
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/help-rachel-tudor/Dr. Rachel Tudor has been denied tenure at Southeastern Oklahoma State University and informed that her employment will be terminated effective May 31, 2011. It appears that this denial and dismissal are connected to discrimination against her for being transgender.
For nearly two years, the administration at Southeastern has repeatedly and egregiously violated established policies and procedures in the review of Dr. Tudor's application for tenure and promotion. The Faculty Appeals Committee has found in favor of Dr. Tudor twice, and the Faculty Senate has passed a resolution in support of her. Meanwhile, the administration arbitrarily re-wrote the Academic Policies and Procedures manual in the midst of the process, in order to facilitate Dr. Tudor's dismissal.
