I thought the issue Mr. Hoffman put into play was if any of us could
support conducting a fair and impartial review for Leigh Robartes, 
who might have been unfairly terminated by his immediate supervisor.
Based upon what I read, it appears as though there indeed should be a
review of his termination. I assume that because this is a student station,
critical decisions such as employee termination are subject to some level
of student body oversight and that Mr. Robartes has access to a problem 
solving process within the university. The availability of the latter
option may depend upon his status as an employee at the time of
termination.
