• holding that tenure regulations which subjected salary to \possible annual adjustments\ did not create a property interest in a particular salary because the \ 'mutually explicit understanding' ... rested on periodic ... salary revisions\
• finding that university’s decision to reduce a professor’s salary was “academic” because it was “reduced for lack of grant productivity and lack of funded grant salary support”
