Harrington charges, and a source confirms, thatSommers ordered him to fire Exposé's volunteereditor, Edward P. Miller, and to excise anymention of prize winners' Expos teachers from themagazine. Sommers denies all these charges, sayingthat Marius fired Miller because he was not makingdeadlines and was improperly editing studentcontributions.
Vallier, now at the Groton School, says herecalls speaking with at least two teachers andother staff members about problems in thedepartment. Once again, however, theadministration was unable to improve theatmosphere at Expos. In fact, Harrington is justone of five program administrators to serve atExpos during the past seven years.
Askold Melnyczuk, who taught at Expos from 1990to 1992, says one of the reasons he left wasMarius' style of managing people. "I think Richardis way too aggressive," says Melnyczuk, whobelieves Marius should either leave the program orbe sent to management school.
Teachers also criticize Marius's treatment oftransfer students, whose essays he reads to see ifthey can pass out of Expos. Students say theyreceive caustic comments both in person and inwriting, and teachers say they regularly seetransfer students in tears and enraged aftermeetings with Marius.
Teachers also strongly charge that Marius'personnel decisions smack of favoritism. A primaryexample is the differences in treatment of SarahKing, who taught in 1991 and 1992, and Expos 17head Stephen Donatelli.
