My personal knowledge of Ms. Hayes’ job performance will not allow me in good conscience to recommend re-appointment. However, | find that the present state of her official personnel file would not sustain a recommendation of non re-appointment. Under these circumstances, | am, therefore, declining to make any recommendation. | will place an appropriate letter in Ms. Hayes' file which will address the situation as | view it and will be available prospectively for appropriate consideration. | fully understand the consequences of this action on my part and am grateful to you and your office for your consideration. Please accept my kindest and best personal regards Sincerely, Haywood Burns Dean and Professor of Law cc. Leslie Hayes BEC. Admin Die a hes Cees LAW,IN THE SERVICE OF HUMAN NEEDS,
