I was offered a position by two vice presidents of our university. It was to be a tranfer from one department to another. The position offer was also approved, in principle, by the university's General Counsel, the university's Controller, and by conversation with a current member of the university's Board of Trustees . It was announced to my co-workers in the department I would be leaving, and announced to the new area I would be joining. No voices of opposition were heard. I was actually taken to a specially called meeting of the department I'd be joining to discuss details of the transfer. I was paraded around like a prize sheep at the state fair. I made arrangements in my personal life for the new position. Several days later I was informed that the university president decided that the transfer shouldn't happen. I was greatly disappointed, saddened, hurt, and hugely embarassed. I still don't know why the decision was made. Do I have any legal recourse? We are non-union.
