LSU Responds to Biology Professor Lee Greer
La Sierra University generated a lot of news last week, with a press release by biology professor Dr. Lee Greer that prompted a story in the local paper. Asked for a response, this is what the university had to say:
Dr. Lee Greer is currently employed by La Sierra University as a non-tenured Assistant Professor of Biology. His contract expires by its own terms on June 30, 2012. The University honors its contractual commitments.
Beyond confirming the status of employment, the University does not comment on specific details of personnel matters as a matter of policy. This puts the University at a disadvantage in responding to public criticism such as Dr. Greer’s “press release,” but it is the policy of most employers for sound reasons of human resource management and the law.
