Here is the Mark McPhail IUN story as taken from the American Association of University Professors report, “Academic Freedom and Tenure: Indiana University Northwest,” which is careful, balanced, and specific in its details. Mark McPhail was hired as Executive Vice Chancellor of IUN, but didn’t get along with the Chancellor and resigned to just be a tenure professor of communications. He complained about racism (McPhail is Black) and objected to a major administrative hire being made in violation of university rules. He then was told that his teaching had been reviewed some years earlier, unknown to him, and his tough grading and low student evaluations showed he was such a bad teacher that he couldn’t be allowed to teach, and would have his salary cut 75%.
