-----my time, as she knows, is limited. It is utterly laughable that one person saw the report. Nobody within the governing authority is now aware of its contents because of "legal advice". I do not think that is acceptable. It is not acceptable to any member of this committee that this is the case. From the point of view of the reputation of the university, I acknowledge action has been taken. We have a duty to acknowledge when proper work has been done, but I find the current situation to be extraordinary. Can I get an insight? What is the legal advice? Why is the governing authority of the university not being shown the contents of that report? Can anyone give me a legitimate answer to that question? I doubt I will get it, but I ask for it.
