e you that no student handwriting was sent." A
flush began to appear on his brow.
"Are you trying to say that no student standards were sent? If so, I
understand that. But SmurFFs with student writing on them were."
"Yes, SmurFFs were sent, but there was no way in which one could
identify them." Henry was unaware that he had caught himself in his
own semantics and made an interesting admission.
Roz wasn't going to let up or get sidetracked by it from the main
argument. "That is not relevant to what we are discussing. It was
wrong to send those evaluations, whether so-called standards of ours
accompanied them or not. Because technically, that was our writing."
Henry slumped in his chair in desperate need of an antacid, as the
others on the panel asked questions relating to the nursing nutrition
course. Suddenly Frank Anuse leaned forward and interrupted the
questions. "Do you remember a time when Diana had a sprained wrist?"
"Yes. She sprained it late in November and some of us helped put notes
on the board for the final labs in December."
Blocked on that issue, Anuse tried to maneuver her into agreeing that
it should be wrong for anyone who was not a student to fill out
evaluations. "It could be very harmful for a faculty person, couldn't
it?"
"Two evaluations out of two hundred?" twinkled Roz. "I think they
would have survived. But to more fully reply to your question, it has
not been proven that the evaluations in question were not filled out by
students."
"Oh that's because you haven't heard some other testimony." Anuse said
happily and firmly back in control.
"I agree that I have not heard all of the testimony. However, if that
testimony was important, and it must be since you appear to believe it,
why wasn't the hearing open as Diana requested? If it had been, I
would have been here to hear the testimony you put such stock in and
would be able to evaluate it for myself."
Chapter 21
Professor Diana Trenchant was sitting at her desk preparing for the
evening laboratory. Roz had just left with Jennifer to talk to as many
students as they could find. It had been Jennifer's idea and she had
brought Roz along to help talk Diana into it. Ever since Jennifer had
asked her what was wrong and Diana had explained and shown her the
copies of the SmurFF's she had been accused of writing, Jennifer had
been pondering what to do.
She was older than most of the students and had se
