sperately hard to learn this material. I said to him that you were
working assiduously and trying unremittingly but that you and I both
felt that you needed at least another year of study to be really
proficient."

On hearing this, Jane blanched with shock. Here was information that
Lyle had falsified a senior faculty person's (Ann) appraisal on the
reappointment papers of Diana. Anuse interrupted Diana's questioning
and attempted to gloss over the damning admission. He suggested that
it was just a misunderstanding in terms.

It didn't work because Ann was angry that her honest comments regarding
the teaching effectiveness of Diana had been misconstrued in a way that
was completely false and she made that clear to Anuse in no uncertain
terms.

After finishing off Anuse, she turned to Diana and said, "For you to
come into the summer course with no training at all, at the age of 57,
and be trained to teach nutrition....for you to undertake such an
endeavor amazed me. I made it clear to Lyle that she needed more time,
perhaps one more summer to be an effective teacher--not what he quoted
me as saying!"

Now the chair stepped in and advised that this was getting way off the
subject they were there to discuss, but the panel, except for Anuse,
wanted to hear more and Ann, still angry at the way she had been
misquoted, obliged them.

"....and the teaching load put on her. It was a horrible thing to ask
somebody to do--seven labs in a week plus directing the radiology lab
during the first semester. In the past, these labs were distributed
among the graduate students and to ask one person to do that, I thought
was....

"Remember," turning again to address Diana. "I told you it was a
terrible stress for you to undergo and that if I were subjected to
that, I couldn't do it."

Directing her remarks back to the panel, she continued. "I know,
because at one point in my life, I taught five courses at one time and
I went about bananas after two years; I had to quit because of the
stress."

Henry interrupted decisively this time and announce a recess. The
testimony of his witness was getting entirely to sympathetic toward
Diana and he wanted no more references to Lyle's creative editing of
Ann's comments on the employee appraisal form. Falsifying employee
reappointment forms was a real no-no, especially now with the union
breathing down our necks, he thought.
