<p> 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?
