Description

This is a consolidated appeal of two cases which were jointly heard and decided by the circuit court of Sangamon County. The
Cook County College Teachers Union, Local 1600, American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO (hereafter, the Union) was a plaintiff
in both suits and was represented as a class by Jack Fooden, a professor and an executive of the Union. Individual plaintiffs
in each suit were Ida Lalor and Benjamin Solomon, who had served as assistant professors at Chicago State College. On April
7, 1969, the plaintiff Union and Lalor and Solomon brought suit against the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities
of Illinois, (hereafter the Board) requesting the circuit court to declare the rights of the parties and to order the Board
to offer Solomon and Lalor employment as assistant professors at Chicago State College for the 1969-1970 academic year. The
Board on April 29, 1969, filed a motion, supported by an affidavit of the executive officer and secretary of the Board, requesting
summary judgment. On May 6, 1969, the circuit court allowed the motion and on May 12, 1969, entered an order granting summary
judgment in favor of the defendant Board in both suits. The plaintiffs have appealed directly to this court, claiming that
substantial constitutional questions are involved. The record discloses that in July, 1967, the Board appointed the plaintiffs Solomon and Lalor as assistant professors at
Chicago State College for a ten-month term for the academic year 1967-1968. They accepted the appointments and signed an agreement
which set out that their appointments were on a "Probationary First Year" basis and were subject to the bylaws, governing
policies and practices of the Board. In May of 1968, the Board re-appointed Solomon and Lalor as assistant professors on a
ten-month basis for the 1968-1969 academic year. They accepted the new appointments and signed similar agreements which stated
that the appointments were probationary second-year appointments. In November of 1968, Solomon and Lalor were notified by
letter by the Dean of the Faculty at Chicago State College that they would not be offered an appointment for the academic
year 1969-1970.
