"Randy did that. I didn't go through all of them as he did, but he showed me the ones he picked out and they were pretty much the same as all the others—basically not good."
"Now which one of these critiques, these in the packet B, are you saying were very detrimental and personally injurious and caused you undue harm?"
"I haven't read them. I'm talking about all the critiques in general."
"Then you are alleging that I wrote all the critiques?"
"No. A psychologist would find that a person would have to have mental problems to sit down and write all the critiques like that. What I'm saying is there is other evidence, probably intangible, that a seed was planted in a student's mind, and that seed was portrayed in some of the comments that they wrote on their own."
Still trying to get the question answered, Diana asked again, this time reading from the memo from the dean. "The dean wrote that I am, quote, 'accused of creating fictitious student critiques which were very detrimental and personally injurious to two junior faculty members' unquote.
"So I am asking again, which one of these have you selected to...."
Oh, oh, Ian's in trouble thought Henry interrupting quickly with, "Have you seen this memo, Ian?"
"No."
The chair handed a copy of the memo and the packet of 'suspicious' critiques to Ian saying, "He has not seen the memorandum you are referring to." To himself, he said, come on Ian, get it together. This is dangerous ground.
