California Court of Appeal

Plaintiff's suit, challenging defendant-school's decision not to renew her contract, is dismissed where the nonrenewal is not actionable under Tameny v. Atlantic Richfield Co, (1980) 27 Cal.3d 167, since no cause of action exists for tortious nonrenewal of an employment contract in violation of public policy.
