Re: a disturbing development today

Thanks.. I agree with you completely, and you are very astute in your assessment.. We can discuss this more when we discuss our appeal report.. I will keep you abreast of what, if anything, Amelia will be doing internally and legally related to this.

I'm so frustrated and disappointed to hear that. Though I'm not surprised — I was re-reading Ellison's OEI report today and noted that footnote 38 indicates that OEI was investigating Amelia for the failure-to-report issue, and there were a lot of unfair and biased comments in both Ellison's report and Kenney's letter about her. Seems like ASU had just decided heads were going to roll, not matter what the evidence showed.

Subject: a disturbing development today

FYI.. I just heard confidentially from Amelia Huggins, my former Origins Exec. Director, one hour ago that ASU terminated her employment today.. which I find virtually unbelievable. To my knowledge they did not talk to any of her supervisors or those senior people she worked with. I can only think that they have done this to somehow solidify a perceived case against me. In any case, I thought you should know. It may impact upon the appeal in some way, which is why I am letting you know, and I am going to assume that she is going to sue the University, and I and numerous others will support her in that. She was in my experience, and that of numerous others, including Nancy, who had a similar position with the Govt. of Australia in the past, one of the most effective, professional administrators I knew of at ASU.
