********** It's just a cultural thing -- in other countries, like India, but also many others, managers are arrested immediately after any disaster, train wrecks, whatever -- the TM school in India was not singled out by Indian authorities. MUM mgmt did display negligence after the first assault by Sem in March 2003, and if they had acted properly, the following murder in the campus dining hall would not have taken place. It's up to the people of India to decide what to do about the principal of the Maharishi school who ignored the pleas of students whose lunches were being stolen -- I would certainly call this negligence, myself, and if more managers in the USA and in TM mgmt were subject to jail, then it might make them more attentive to their responsibilities.
