Just a heads up Glenn, so you don't go mis-making a federal case: I've seen a good number of press releases, and they have never been signed. They usually do have a contact person listed, but its not in the form of a letter. Did you ask UCD for the releases? Hint: don't call her flackette or by her last name when you write. She might get the wrong impression about you.

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 Lamond 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."
