the new statutes, public hospitals are given the power “to provide for contracts of employment or contracts for services and ownership of property on terms that will protect the public interest.” Miss.Code Ann. § 41-13-35(5)(n) (Supp.1988). Furthermore, under the new statutory scheme, the administrator of the community hospital is given the power “to employ and discharge employees, as needed for the efficient performance of the business of the community hospital and prescribe their duties.” Miss.Code Ann. § 41-13-36 (Supp.1988). The appellants argue that the qualifying language added to the statutes restricts the power of community hospitals to terminate their employees and bestows a property interest on such employees. See, e.g., In re Bishop, 211 Miss. 518, 52 So.2d 18, 19-20 (1951) (<HOLDING>); see also McDonald v. Mims, 577 F.2d 951,
holding that a mississippi statute providing that employees could be terminated only for cause establishes a property interest under the fourteenth amendment holding that statute providing the power to remove deputy sheriffs when the public interest will be served thereby allows removal only for cause holding that a public employee who may only be terminated for cause has a property interest in his position that is protected by the 14th amendment recognizing the public interest exception recognizing a public policy against discrimination but not providing for an independent cause of action
