I wanted to adress this issue in spring 2009, back when this incident occurred, but in contacting the Cooper Point Journal, I found I would be given 800 words to relate the event and the official proceedings (which involved letters addressed to Vice Presidents Art Costantino and John Hurley, and which had gone without a response for over two months by the time I decided to write this article in late May). It was not enough space for the article, and I knew I couldn’t trim it down and still explain things adequately. The other choice offered was to break the article in two and publish it in consecutive issues. I was also unwilling to do this. It’s been a very busy year, so it’s taken me until now to get this article published for the start of fall quarter.
