Terri Patraw: Oppressive Operation
This may help to explain some things:
There was a 2005 faculty morale study that was widely circulated and widely published. This was about one year after Mary Dugan was appointed the UNR General Counsel.
The remakable thing about this faculty morale study is it said that a very large number of respondents - - these are faculty in the university - - they cited a climate of intimidation, fear, and powerlessness among university faculty and staff.
They described their work environment as hostile and expressed concern for a lack of rule of law on campus.
Many of them took great pains to ensure their anonymity to respond to this survey because they expressed fear of retaliation or even termination for expressing their viewpoints.
I think that tells the story of what the climate is on this campus because of this oppressive operation we're calling a RICO operation.
