Not really, I would think.
His term was up, he wasn't reappointed, whatever.
I guess the problem arises with it being a government that didnt reappoint. Working for the govt it's pretty much assumed that you can fuck up pretty bad and keep your job, it's not like the real world. Two of our professors didnt get their tenure renewed (or whatever) now they're all up in arms
. Who gives a shit, they teach vocational stuff at a university ... they should be teaching at the community college (it's all apart of nursing stuff).
govt firing = you probably have to kill someone to get fired
real world firing = you can be canned for whatever reason (except race, sex, being pregnant and probably a few other reasons)
