@Michelle I have tenure which helped me in my situation, it also helps to get everything out in the open. Truth is the best disinfectant. Pepperdine has more to worry about with the students running into la polizia than they do with any fake worries about stirring up anti-Americanism. At this point they have to worry about how they have flushed their own reputation down the toilet, but it is probably too late for them on that count.

So, did you know that my husband got fired from his job over speaking out on the Amanda Knox case? At first they were all over it telling him how they admired it, etc. Then as soon as he went on National Television they told them to stop. Their only previous request was that he didn’t mention Pepperdine, which he never did. I think I like YOUR University better. We have a huge lawsuit, unfortunately. They were afraid of backsplash and it would have ended up being a feather in their hat. They have a program in Florence, the town that convicted Mignini to 16 months for abuse of power. I will definitely not allow my kids to study abroad in Italy now, which is unfortunate. I would love to talk to you about this sometime if you wouldn’t mind. Thanks.

“I got a sudden letter chalking it up to a misunderstanding”

I think Emery’s zoology department need to check the locks on their cages. A bunch of weasles must have escaped into the boardroom. Weasles without the balls to admit they were wrong – clearly those zoologists must neutered them…

[...] FIRE and bloggers, Emory University remembers that Doug Bremner works there, and that he’s perfectly within his rights to say so on his blog. “Amid all the campus ephemery We seem to have misplaced our memory. [...]

You wrote, “I got a sudden letter chalking it up to a misunderstanding…”
Yes, indeed. The misunderstanding being the University didn’t think they’d catch any flak over the matter. Good on ya’, mate!

Great news, I hope you don’t put the name back here! It would be a great headline that says, “Integrity and ethics return to Emory, Nemeroff pays all non-reported pharma money to homeless shelters” or something like that.

Or, it would be great if they actually published the book release and gave the book a proper announcement.

Great victory for you though!
