Exercise 6

Swetman and others were college teachers whose contracts expired at the end of the school year. They had been teaching for a number of years, and all had tenure (permanent status), but they had no specific contract for the coming year. They applied for unemployment compensation for the summer months. Compensation was denied because the teachers had tenure, and both the teachers and the college expected that the teachers would be teaching next year. Was it implied that the teachers would have a teaching job for another year? (Swetman v. Gerace, Fla., 349 So.2d 977)
