Am I on a different planet here? If allegations are made about people, however false or negative they may be, is it not wholly inappropriate from the perspective of the HEA and the Department? I say without prejudice that it is just wrong. There is a conflict here. I am saying this without prejudice. I am not pointing any fingers. How in God's name can the executive and other people who were mentioned in these allegations, which may be false or true, be involved in the process? Is it the position of the HEA and the Department that this was good practice in handling disclosures?
