The Doctor is... OUT?

I have long admired Dr Charles Rice, professor emeritus of law at Notre Dame, and visiting prof at Ave Maria School of Law -- as my old man would have said, he is "a gentleman and a scholar, and there aren't many of us left." I also had the privilege of working with him and the Naitonal Wanderer Forum for a few years. So I was disappointed to learn he was slated for removal from the Board of the AMSOL. No one's talking much (including the Doctor, and whoever is responsible), but it is known that Dr Rice objected openly to Tom Monaghan moving Ave Maria to Florida.
