Neither the president nor any of the Vees could be reached for comment.
However, Bob Alastar, the PR for Belmont, called in the press.
"We have no comment," he asserted. "It is the university's policy
not to discuss personnel decisions with the press."
Now there was a new angle in the threatening phone calls to
the plaintiff. The caller would start out in a friendly fashion.
In a conversational tone, he would advise Diana to, "go down to
the courthouse and examine the court records for the past ten years.
Just check the directory for all the cases that Belmont has been
involved in and read the outcome. The court clerk will help you."
Then the voice would become threatening. "You will see that no one
has ever won a case against Belmont. It owns the courts and it
owns the lawyers. You'll lose all your money and you'll be hurt
in other ways. It can and will make appeal after appeal.
It can and will tie this case up for years. Give it up
before you get hurt."
Chapter 38
The investigation by the Attorney General continued. When she tried
to interview potential witnesses at Belmont, she was prevented
by the administration.
