And you, you pompous old windbag, encouraged that witness, Lyle Stone to go on and on for hours on unrelated issues yourself, thought Janet, sneaking a quick, compassionate look at Diana and flexing her fingers in preparation for the next words.
Diana almost snorted aloud at Henry's admonition. Composing herself, she said, "I'm finished with my cross examination of Lyle."
Frank Anuse immediately asked, "Lyle, if it is demonstrated that a faculty member falsified information concerning another faculty member using SmurFFs, do you consider that to be amoral and unprofessional?"
"Yes. We are assuming that honesty must prevail among peers and co-workers."
"That's all for now."
"I have just a couple of questions on recross," corrected Trenchant.
Henry, caught with his mouth open about to hastily dismiss Lyle glared malevolently at her.
She smiled back at him then turned to Lyle and asked if he insisted that all faculty be honest.
He avoided a direct answer. "Well, no one thinks dishonesty is a good thing, at least I don't think anybody does."
"I just wondered why you didn't take similar action, that is report to the vice president and bring charges, when the recent blatant plagiarism of Ian and Randy was brought to your attention," Diana said.
