IC Sentinel adviser Niu Rosdahl filed a letter of grievance against NIC President Barry Schuler March 6. 3CCUS· ing Schuler of violating his lirs1 amendmenr rights. In his lcucr to the Facuhy Personnel Policies Committct. Rosdnhl accused Schuler of not renewing his contract for 1986-87 because "I did not con trol the Sentinel and (editor) Dan Breeden." Rosdahl was hired to teach journalism for the 198S-86 academic year while incumbent Tim Pilgrim took a year's leave of absence to pur~ue an additional degree. Pilgrim wrote a letter to Schuler on Feb. 22, requC$ling 10 return to NIC as an instructor of spe«h and/ or English. Rosdnhl also wrote a leucr asl.ing to remain as journalism instructor.
