I read the article a few days back & was particularly struck by the way E. Ethelbert Miller -- & others, I infer? -- were dismissed without any reasonably respectful protocol such as, er, actually informing them as to the state of their employment...?!
This sort of treatment is inexcusable, whether it happens in academia or elsewhere. (That there may be precedents elsewhere, or that it's legal, doesn't make it any less inexcusable, in my view.)
I look forward to finding out more from future articles or updates.
