more responsible?
Well..the answer is if it was a Board decision to
suspend John then I guess we would have all known
about it from the meeting held by our community
representatives on the UCD Board.
Let's see: you're running an organization, Sharrieff, and one day you read
in the paper that someone has accused one of your employees, a very popular
one, of doing something improper. You have no advance notice; everybody else
who reads the paper finds out at the same time you do, and they all start
calling and second guessing and making conflicting demands. So you ask the
employee, hey, what happened?, and you don't get any answer. Instead, his
powerful friends start badmouthing YOU!
What do you do?

Melani,
I'm glad you asked! I'm a little cconcerned, but it seems easy to fix.
I haven't been able to find a record of the second press release signed by
any UCD spokesperson except your post. I know Mr. Lewis Wendell was quoted
making a public announcement of Fenton's obstruction of the internal
investigation at the public much-discussed Penn meeting.
I've been reading some listserv exchanges, and I know you have a lot of
potential legal issues. I'd feel a lot better if I could find one published
dated record of the second official UCD press release with either Lewis
Wendell's signature, or the UCD Board signatures, or the signature of a highly
paid UCD flackette.
I checked and neither press release is on the UCD web site. Please send me
the easiest way that I can find a record of the dated signed press release.
Thanks.
Here is what you posted Thursday:
"The UCD released a second press release on Friday. It seems not to have
been picked up by the media. I became aware of it through another listserv
member, and I've received an OK to put it on the list:
June 8, 2007
University City District has made numerous documented attempts to contact
John Fenton asking him to respond to the matter under investigation. Our calls
and letters have gone unanswered. He still remains on paid administrative
leave."
Your concerned friend and ethics advocate,
Glenn
