Andrea had said
her aunt thought that the excessive course load given Diana by Lyle
was an attempt to break her spirit or drive her from the department.
Ann declared that she, "could not remember saying that. It is possible
that was what Andrea understood me to say."
When asked directly if there was sex discrimination in the department,
she said that in the past, she had felt some discrimination because of sex,
but she knew now that this was not the case. She gave several reasons why
she was not treated the same or paid as much as the males in the department.
"It probably was because my research is so much different from the rest or
because Lyle was new in the position and didn't realize what he was saying."
Jane felt anger toward Ann as she listened. She had asked around
for information about her when she knew Ann would be testifying.
Ann, of all people, knew what the situation truly was because Lyle
had named her as the department Affirmative Action representative.
Reflecting on the efficacy of the AA program, Jane knew that Belmont,
like most universities around the country, had continued problems
with grant procurement due to being out of compliance with the laws
concerning discrimination and harassment.
