Longtime UM law professor forced to retire because of budget cuts - Keila Szpaller, the Missoulian

Back in the day, Jeff Renz helped pour cement for the M on Mount Sentinel. More recently, the law professor had students argue before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Renz, a longtime professor at the Alexander Blewett III School of Law at the University of Montana, came to Missoula in 1967. At the end of this semester, the teacher and director of the criminal defense clinic will retire. His departure is linked to the budget crunch at UM, and he appears to be the only contracted professor whose annual employment isn't being renewed because of money. http://missoulian.com/news/local/longtime-um-law-prof-forced-to-retire-early-because-of/article_5f60790e-bed1-5b84-961c-675d113f18ba.html
