Bell Rejects Job In Dukakis Office

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Derrick A. Bell, professor of Law, said yesterday that he rejected consideration for a position in Governor-Elect Michael S. Dukakis' new state administration.

Bell said he wasn't interested in holding office, although he acknowledged that he had been approached by a Dukakis aide.

"I've gotten a call that they were interested, but I want to stay in the teaching business for the next few years," Bell aide.

He added that he wants to do more research and writing.

Mary Fifield, a Dukakis press secretary, confirmed yesterday's reports that Bell might be a possible candidate for a state job.

Fifield said that it was "likely" that Bell was being considered for "some state appointment," but she said she couldn't confirm or deny whether he was being considered for a cabinet post.
