TENURED PROFESSOR LOSES APPEAL, JOB
VICTORIA, B.C. - A University of Victoria sociology professor
convicted of growing marijuana in her suburban home three years ago
has lost an appeal to keep her job.
The dismissal of Jean Veevers is effective immediately.
Veevers had been suspended with pay since December 1998, when
university President David Strong recommended that she be dismissed.
Strong said that the dismissal of a tenured professor from a
university is ``very uncommon.''
