- A professor's tenure is like a marriage: it's supposed to be
- for life, and it's very expensive if it isn't. The American
- University in Washington is learning that lesson in dealing with
- former president Richard Berendzen, who hastily resigned last
- April after police traced straight to his office several obscene
- phone calls received by a Virginia woman. Now university
- trustees have held a hush-hush meeting to authorize a $1 million
- settlement package for Berendzen. Though the final terms have
- yet to be decided, the result of the deal, says the university,
- is that its relationship with Berendzen will end "as of
- January." Divorce may be cruel, but as the experts like to say,
- isn't it better than a bad marriage?
