Yohma Gray and Elvira Hasty, two of three tenured Mundelein College professors who were denied jobs at Loyola University after Loyola University absorbed Mundelein last summer, have sued Loyola. Gray is a former chair of the English department at the now-merged Catholic women`s college, and Hasty was professor of chemistry. Their separate suits in the Chancery division of Cook County Circuit Court charge that Loyola was obligated to honor all Mundelein contractual obligations. Tenure generally is considered an assurance of lifetime employment. John Pontarelli, spokesman for Loyola, said that jobs had not been promised to all Mundelein College faculty and ”the actions of both
(schools) were proper in all respects.”
