It's hard to keep the lid on - Part 10 (confirmation)

We noted last week the highly unusual open session of the Regents to discuss the tenure dismissal case of Prof. Amarasekara.*

After the open session, which was requested by Prof. Amarasekara, the Regents went into closed session to decide the case. The Daily Bruin reports that in closed session, the Regents endorsed the dismissal.** No surprise there. There was no way that the Regents would have reversed a decision endorsed by the UCLA chancellor and UCOP.

As we noted in prior posts, there is litigation in the background of this case. So, there may yet be further developments.
