A job is none of those things. Can an instructor at a state university be fired before reaching tenure?
Untenured instructors are contract employees. They are not fired; their contract is not renewed.
To fire them before the end of their contract, they must go through a due process hearing.
(They are also considered probationary employees if they are untenured but tenure track, in which case the probationary employee classes I talked about earlier apply.)
"You are no longer needed" is all they have to say.
You keep trying to push this narrative, but it is false. Look at how many steps Mizzou had to go through to fire Melissa Click, and they were _still_ sanctioned, sued, and lost, for not following due process.
(And she was not tenured.)

O.K. if that is the answer then it is.
Hmmm... that may not be a bad idea, and put them on a tenure track they can achieve, what, in 3 years? 5 years? 7 years? It's an idea worth discussing at least.
This individual he was caring for is a person with significant behavioral issues, and Charles was specifically chosen to work with this individual as his one-on-one staff, because he is that much of a skilled employee.
He has received extensive crisis intervention training. Unfortunately, our police department doesn’t seem to have received that same training.

In short, you are arguing a distinction without a differences.
the end result is the same, you dont have a ob the next year.

Sure, I think it's worth discussing also. I'm glad it was suggested.
It's not real clear but I would hope that he is able to personally sue the officer and not just the police force.
