James D. Nason, the kangaroo chair, Helen A. Sherk, and William M. McGovern, received a copy of a doctor’s certificate several hours before the grievance hearing. Nason acknowledged receipt by email with copies to Sherk and McGovern saying that he would call the physician to verify it. He received permission to do so. Instead, the committee ignored the certificate and took full advantage of an illness to orchestrate an arbitrary dismissal from the university in absentia. Nason then wrote to Landolt that I did not appear at the hearing (without mentioning the reason) and claimed that I had "no good faith intention to pursue a grievance". Marsha L Landolt then wrote to say that she terminated the grievance for "failure to appear". Two weeks later, Nason tried to expunge copies of the medical certificate from the university computer evidently to support his contention that non-attendance at the hearing resulted from personal choice and not illness. Nason inadvertently sent an email message that showed precisely what he had tried to do and crashed a computer. By retroactively trying to destroy evidence in a case subject to appeal he affirmed that he had knowingly acted unlawfully. |
