parts: Factual history; Procedures
followed; Findings on considerations; and Recommendations. Surprise,
surprise--after maintaining in two separate hearings that the committee
only gave a report and would not recommend any action.

Actually there was little in the report that came as any surprise. The
so-called 'Factual history' was a composite of the testimony of Lyle,
Ian and Randy. It was carefully written. It reported that, "Lyle had
discovered several 'suspicious' student feedback forms...." when in
fact he had said two.

The report was redolent with accusation. Phrases such as "....she
forged...." and "....department could not tolerate forgery...." were
found throughout and put in a context difficult to justify. One of
these sentences read: "Given the opinion of the handwriting experts
that she had 'forged student course evaluations in a manner designed to
denigrate the performance of co-faculty members', the chairman of NERD
decided to seek termination for cause." Thus the document examiners
were not only given credit for identifying a person's handwriting, but
Henry claimed they were able to read the intent of the person whom they
said wrote the material examined. Nowhere in the hearing were their
clairvoyant abilities established.

Indeed, the entire section contained nothing of the events as testified
to by Diana and her witnesses.

The section on the 'Procedures followed' was again taken from what
Henry had decided were the procedures followed and wickedly slanted
against Diana. It did not mention that the reason thirty-two
additional standards were sent to the second document examiner was
because he could not make a decision on the basis of the standards sent
to the first one. Instead, it claimed that the second document
examiner confirmed the results of the first. It also omitted to add
that the standards sent were abysmally poor copies from microfiche,
covered a period of 25 years and included handwriting and printing of
many different people.

Henry thought the section called 'Findings on considerations', was a
gem. After he had finished writing it, he had leaned back in his chair
and mentally patted himself on the back. Here was contained the only
mention that there had been other testimony entered into the hearing.
Here, in the entire six page report, only 10 lines were devoted to the
witnesses for Diana. The testimony of Sarah, he tersely dismissed
with: "One student witness identif
