Carolinian In Brief February ! 7, ! 999 Volume 63, Issue 21 Gold v. WCU Case Takes Another Step Forward Discovery Process Next Hurdle by Seth R. Sams News Editor The case of Gold v. WCU moved forward on February 5th when U.S. District Court Judge Lacy Thornburg filed an order agreeing with the decision made by U.S. Magistrate Judge Max O. Cogburn, Jr. Cogburn recommended to Thornburg that the state's motion to dismiss Gold's claims be granted in part, and denied in part. Thornburg accepted Cogburn's advice, dejj^ing the state's claim that Gold had not filed within the "applicable statute of limitations," Celebrating Women's History Month by Jeffrey Sykes Staff Writer Thejnodern women's movement began with a bang in 1848, a year of widespread revolution in Europe, when a group of determined women gathered at Seneca Falls, NY, to set the tone for the struggle to achieve equality. Over 150 years later, Western will celebrate Women's History Month. Chancellor Bardo will preside over the Fifth Annual Walk for Women at noon on Monday, March 1. Katie Koestner will give two presentations, one at 3 p.m. on the prevention of sexual assault and another at 8 p.m. on date-rape. Koestner is a date-rape survivor and recognized as an advocate for the prevention of sexual crimes against women. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority will host a program on Tuesday, March 2, entitled "Honoring Women of Color." It will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Catamount Room of the UC. Many more events are to follow. It all began at Seneca Falls. "If the first women God created was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, then these women here ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again," quipped Sojourner Truth, an Alabama slave who secured her freedom with the help of sympathetic Quakers. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the mother of American feminism, was there as well. Together, as Sojourner predicted, they set out on a long journey, one still being traveled today. Harriet Beecher Stowe set the standard for women to emulate in 1852, with the publication of see 'History' page 4 and also denied the~stateYmotion to dismiss Gold's claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Thornburg did order in the state's favor that Chancellor John Bardo and Bill Hyatt could not be sued individually under the ADA, or under the state laws concerning breach of contract. This order now puts the process of discovery in motion, during which depositions will be taken and evidence will be shared between the defendant and the plaintiff, Dr. Gold. Dr. Paul Gold, former teacher in the Communications and Theatre Arts Department at WCU, filed claims against WCU and Bardo and Hyatt, both individually and in their official capacity, after several attempts on his part to be granted tenure were denied by the administration despite the approval of Gold's peers. A hearing of the faculty committee had found that Gold may have been discriminated against, and recommended to Bardo that Gold be given an extension to establish tenure. Bardo denied the request and held a second faculty committee hearing, taking testimony from Gold's former department head, Dr. Lawrence J. Hill, without the presence of Gold. Gold stated he was not notified of this hearing until 35 minutes before it took place, and that Photo by Seth Sams Former WCU professor Dr. Paul Gold looks over recent court documents outlining motions carried in his case against WCU. Hyatt physically blocked the door to the hearing, keeping Gold from attending. "What I really miss is my students and my colleagues," Gold stated in an interview. "I'm not a legal expert, but I know what was done was wrong, and that's why I'm pursuing this." "I do not discuss legal issues in public so I will not comment on any action regarding any case," Bardo told the Carolinian in an e-mail response. Bardo went on to comment this practice is common among university chancellors nationally. il i j \ ■\ \ !
