Tenure
and Promotion |
During its February meeting the
Ithaca College Board of Trustees granted tenure and/or promotion
to 14 faculty members. Additionally, retired faculty member Harvey
Fireside was granted status as a Charles A. Dana Professor Emeritus.
 Fireside retired
from the College in 1996 after 28 years of distinguished service.
Submitted by colleagues in the Department of Politics, his nomination
for consideration as professor emeritus was endorsed by School
of Humanities and Sciences dean Howard Erlich, Provost Mary Lee
Seibert, and President Peggy R. Williams. "Harvey Fireside's
scholastic and humanitarian interests have ranged broadly and
deeply throughout his impressive, highly accomplished career
at Ithaca College," wrote department chair Martin L. Brownstein,
who pointed to Fireside's 1977 receipt of the College's highest
honor, the Dana professorship, as evidence of the "singular
level of his professional achievement."
Fireside has remained active
in retirement, and will soon publish his seventh book, The
Fifth Amendment: The Right to Remain Silent. Other books
include Plessy v. Ferguson: Separate But Equal?, Young Bosnians
Talk About the War, and Soviet Psychoprisons. He has
had articles published in dozens of journals and magazines and
has conducted research in such areas as Soviet human rights,
U.S. immigration policy, and human rights violations during the
Bosian conflict. Fireside's lifelong devotion to humanitarian
causes is evidenced by his current association with the Border
Fund and his leadership of the Bosnian Student Project, which
secures scholarships and accommodations for young refugees from
Bosnia in the United States.
Over the years, Fireside served
as chairman of his department, of a dean's search committee,
of an interdisciplinary curriculum committee, and of a long-range
planning committee on admissions.
