Dissenting Opinion

NIGRO, Justice,

dissenting.

I respectfully dissent from the per curiam order on the basis of my dissent in Krupinski v. Vocational Technical School, 544 Pa. 58, 674 A.2d 683 (1996). Similar to Krwpin-ski, I find it to be contrary to common sense and logic to have the same body which initiates a teacher’s suspension then adjudicate the challenge to the discharge.
