IRC LOOKS AT UNI DISMISSAL ROW


The argument between the University of WA and the
archaeologist it denied tenure moved into the State's
Industrial Commission yesterday.

David Rindos, whose case has attracted attention in world 
archaeology circles, has filed an application to be
reinstated claiming hew as unfairly dismissed by the
university.

Last year, Dr Rindos gave evidence to a university  inquiry
into UWA's archaeology department.

Another in-camera inquiry was held and the archaeology
department was incorporated in the anthropology department.
 Later, Dr Rindos was unsuccessful in his application for
tenure.

An earlier hearing in the Federal Industrial Relations 
Commission did not proceed beyond an initial conference
between the two parties.
