Even so, the report stated, that the
department guideline for selecting faculty
did not coincide with university by Jaws.
According to the by Jaws each member of
the department's faculty should have the
opportunity to interview job applicants.
In this instance, the report stated, only
Stowers and Duncan were interviewed by
department faculty members.
The ombudsman's office recommended
that the Department of Architecture revise
its guidelines to follow those of the
university.
According to the report, the university
disagreed with the findings of the ombuds
man. The university is under no obligation
to change its rules to conform with the
ombudsman's recommendations, said
Ombudsman Murrell McNeil.
"Neither Mr. Dunn nor the University
has entirely agreed with the findings and
conclusions that we have reached. It is
emphasized, however, that it is not the
function of this office to endeavor to reach
conclusions that are necessarily satisfactory
to either of the parties involved in a
dispute," the report stated.
