## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- finding that a professor’s “long employment in a continuing relationship through the use of renewals of short-term contracts was sufficient to give him the necessary expectancy of re-employment that constituted a pro-tectible interest”

## Opinion text

JONES, Circuit Judge-
(concurring specially):
There are, I think, legal principles which require the vacating and remand of the judgment of the district court. I do not think that appeals should be decided on the grounds of practicability and common sense fairness. I do not believe it is an appellate function to prescribe the manner of notice of a hearing *949 before an administrative body such as a school board.
