[Locked to Faculty and Staff--Students Cannot See]
*All faculty and staff are given a small cassette tape with a note asking they use discretion when dealing with the information it contains.*
*Angelus, you have pissed off the wrong woman.*
*Angelus, you have pissed off the wrong woman.*

no subject
"It is true that I fraternize with my students, but I do not give them unfair advantages, access to class materials, or anything else of the sort. I resent the implication that I would."
I implied nothing of the sort. I made mention that by your sending out the cassettes, there was no guarantee it wouldn't be taken by perhaps...an enterprising student, and the instructor or staffperson being none the wiser until...too late.
The tapes will not work after being listened to by the appropriate person, nor can they be made to work once again.
And what if they are listened to by an inappropriate sort? You surely have noticed several of our instructers have gone missing?
Nor was it clear your cassette was a 'played once only and self destructs'.
I would agree that both sides should be heard. That is what campus security is for and why the principal should be allowed to interview both parties without you now personally involved and skewing one side in Ms. Summers' favor.
That you taped the conversation was never my bone of contention, simply the reasonings behind why you saw fit to distribute to the faculty and staff...and not going straight to the principal with it.
And why you haven't encouraged Ms. Summers to do the same.
As for your proclamations that none of the staff will betray her confidence, that is a dangerous promise to make considering you can't control what others do.
