00:00:02.440 - 00:00:16.670

mhm. What do you plan to do now? Well, we plan to fight this all the way through. Just so happens that I was the first one to, uh, received notice of dismissal. There'll be other teachers we already know, several others, probably about 20. We expected this

00:00:16.670 - 00:00:31.920

last year after the strike. We were surprised last year and able to win, get our jobs back then we expected them to come down this year. That's what's hap. Why did you let students great themselves? These are special students in the sense that striking students registered

00:00:31.920 - 00:00:44.400

for the teachers for the classes of striking teachers. And we have developed a relationship with the equality out on the picket line. And I really couldn't wouldn't have been honest to go back to the old authoritarian system with me up in front of the classroom, them

00:00:44.400 - 00:01:10.510

down there and me giving out grades. And I might add, it worked the best educational experience I've been through. Dr. Carpenter charges that it is indeed tied in with his grading system, and it's a political move on your part. One in a series aimed at members

00:01:10.510 - 00:01:24.740

of the A F T. Well, I must say that? I didn't know he was at the left. I didn't know if it's a grading policy. At the time I signed the documents, which were recommended to me for signature by the by Vice President Garrity, the documents

00:01:24.740 - 00:01:39.150

came to you. Yes. You reviewed them, Did you know? Well, I simply reviewed the final recommendations, and I didn't ask for the reasons for these recommendations since they didn't seem to be controversial among the deans and the vice president and the department heads and so on,

00:01:54.540 - 00:02:14.090

actions of S. I Hayakawa and his administration constitute a direct threat against both the School of Third World Studies and more important against the basic principle of self determination. Furthermore, any threat against any third World Department is a threat against the entire School of Third World

00:02:14.090 - 00:02:36.850

Studies. Going to happen here of these threats and intimidation that you charge Continue. Uh, we will take action, which you will certainly know about what type of action. This is what that will be seen by you. College officials will not discuss specific personnel matters in regard

00:02:36.850 - 00:02:53.970

to upcoming faculty dismissal notices, but they do deny there is any attempt to punish Dr Willard Carpenter or anyone else for grading practices. Carpenter, who has been here four years as a lecturer in international relations, is up for tenure but has received 18 months. Notice. Carpenter

00:02:53.970 - 00:03:09.960

charges politics and warns of a possible mass purge of anti administration teachers. Mhm. Ask about another report that Dr Erwin Kelly, president of the A F T. Here, is about to receive notice that his contract will not be renewed. President Hayakawa said that such a recommendation

00:03:09.960 - 00:03:18.260

is on its way to his desk, but he has not received it. Mike Lee Eyewitness News San Francisco State yeah.
