Beai Bi. }ohnson Bauley:

0n Tuesuay, August 28
th
, at 4:S9 pm, Wenui Pieice, the new chaii of the English Bepaitment at the Noithwest
Campus, notifieu me by phone that my employment with Taiiant County College was being teiminateu, two
uays aftei the stait of the fall quaitei. I was not given any ieason foi my uismissal, which follows pievious
auveise actions that have causeu me financial haim anu emotional uistiess.

The college has misappiopiiateu my couise mateiials. I have not given, anu I uo not give, the college
peimission to use these mateiials, which oiiginateu with me anu which I own. Please ietuin all mateiials foi
my Wiiting Composition Class 1Su1, incluuing syllabi, peisonal ieauings, assignments, tests, iubiics, wiiting
aius, etc. Please cease anu uesist immeuiately fiom any fuithei use of these mateiials anu ietuin them to me
foithwith.

I believe that Taiiant County College is violating my fiee speech iights anu acauemic fieeuom by ietaliating
against me because of my public utteiances on behalf of aujunct faculty. When I askeu Angela Chilton by a
seiies of emails beginning on August 19, 2u11 anu culminating on August 26
th
the Fiiuay befoie the
beginning of the 2u11-2u12 acauemic calenuai that classes be maue moie equitable, anu that I not have SS
stuuents while othei instiuctois hau much less, I was insteau ielieveu of foui couises. So on }anuaiy 11
th
,
2u12, I set up a petition on Sign0n.oig foi the puipose of uemanuing moie equitable iights foi aujuncts
eveiywheie: http:signon.oigsignbettei-pay-foi-aujuncts.fb1.souice=c.fb&i_by=426SS4. It was a low key,
quietly auveitiseu petition, which I ciiculateu among family, fiienus, anu like-minueu colleagues. I also began
ieaching out to newspapeis anu the meuia, but eveiything was uone thiough email anu on my own peisonal
time. This coming acauemic yeai, I was given 8 couises again. At the faculty meeting foi aujuncts at TCC-NW
on August 21
st
, I askeu the then-chaii of the English Bepaitment, Angela Chilton, why stuuents who hau faileu
ceitain state manuateu tests weie in oui classes. She tolu me to senu hei the names of such stuuents so she
coulu take caie of this mattei. I sent hei an email on August 24, 2u12, which she foiwaiueu on the same
afteinoon to the liaison between the high school anu college: Amy Nooie, with cc's to the new chaii of the
TCCB NW campus English Bepaitment, Wenui Pieice, anu Lawience ualloway, TCCB Cooiuinatoi of Bual
Cieuit Salaiies. 0n August 27
th
, in what I can only uesciibe as an email fienzy between the high school, the
college, anu me, my fate was ueciueu. I was teiminateu on August 28
th
at 4:S9 pm, being ieplaceu by anothei
aujunct in the moining class; my afteinoon class was uisbanueu altogethei, most likely incieasing the size of
the iemaining afteinoon classes.

I intenu to file a giievancecomplaint with the college ovei my wiongful teimination anu othei ielateu
matteis. In oiuei to uo so, I neeu copies of seveial uocuments. I uiu submit a foimal infoimation iequest to
the TCCB Biiectoi of Employee Relations, Bill Laniei fiist calling him on August S1
st
, anu then emailing him
on the same uay, anu again on Septembei 6
th
but he has faileu to iesponu on all occasions.

Following is the infoimation I oiiginally iequesteu, anu which I heieby iequest again now:

official peisonnel file.

incluuing summeis, which I nevei ieceiveu.
4. All mateiials that TCCB has maue unavailable to me but belong to me anu aie my Intellectual Piopeity.
I leaineu that someone else the peison hiieu to substitute me in the moining class is now using my
mateiials without my expiess peimission. Please ietuin all mateiials foi my Wiiting Composition Class 1Su1,
incluuing syllabi, peisonal ieauings, assignments, tests, iubiics, wiiting aius, etc.

auvance the cost of senuing it via 0SPS oi couiiei. I woulu piefei electionic veisions of all mateiials, howevei,
