Justin is not ideal, but given the current situation I =elieve it is necessary to have someone advising me with more knowledge =f rights and procedures. THey seem to flying by the seat of their pants =ere, and will need to establish what is proper... While I am sure he =ould like to be at the first meeting, I don't want that, but I =hink he could prepare me better for that meeting. I am going to =mail her with some more questions indeed.. will be peppering her =ith questions both before and during and after the meeting..

More later.

Well, this came in today, and this clarifies =ome things.. Particulary it is clear that this office is not really =ollowing any procedure and isn't out to deal with me in a =ay that respects my rights. (no surprise to you!). Statements =ike "include, but not limited to"? What the fuck =s that? Also, it seems clear that from the list of =E2 allegations' (and note they don't explain which =nes they are actually investigating), that the list is basically the =uzzfeed article.. so indeed they are not restricting themselves in at =east listing just university related ones (items 4 and 5.. and re 5, =hat the fuck? Who the fuck cares what an employee thinks about a =onor?)

Anyway, =t is clear to nancy and I that we need to bring Justin in, at least as =n advisor before I have my meeting next tues.. I was going to consider =ringing him in depending upon what I heard there, but based on this, =here are various jurisdictional issues, and respecting my rights issues =hat I need to be guided on. (I plan to ask specific =uestions now during the meetings next tues, but not give responses at =he time).

So, at this point I plan to write to her to ask her for some =pecifics (which I don't expect her to agree to answer till we =eet, but we will see), and contact Justin to let him know I will pay =is retainer. I don't want him accompanying me to the =eeting on Tues, but I want to plug him in the loop with me, and help me =now what to ask, and how to be prepared to respond....

<=iv class="">

Just FYI.. so I =uess I will take up your offer of the $25K...

I am in Nashville =isiting Lilli so on central time, and will not be in a position to talk =xtensively tomorrow, but if you give me a good time, I can =all..

And you =ill be amused that the Student newspaper, the state press, had an =pinion piece that basically said the University shouldn't have =ut me on leave and reacted so presumptuously.. so that was nice =o see. :)
