It also prevented him
from really understanding how very little he knew about radiology.
Henry had spent a great deal of time with Randy preparing him
for today. It had been a harrowing ordeal. Perhaps the actual
testifying would be more harrowing, Henry thought as he nervously
reviewed to himself what he had learned about Randy from Lyle.
Randy had come to Belmont from a college in Ohio having
sufficiently outstayed his welcome there. As is true in most
college administrations, faculty sexual misconduct was
considered mere professorial peccadillo and was studiously
overlooked. If a woman student appeared to be on the verge
of making a fuss, administrators had a remedy called
`The Grievance Procedure'. Administrative personnel talked to
the woman and were able to subtly or directly lead her to understand
that problems would arise in her matriculation if she persisted
with charges of sexual harassment or rape.
If this didn't work, a brief investigation identified her
friends and she was appraised of situations that might
affect them should she remain recalcitrant. Most didn't.
This was all done under the aegis of Academic Freedom, mused Henry.
