Date: Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 2:43 PM<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Importing A Known Abuser To WSU Football<br>To: Joe Campbell <<a href="mailto:philosopher.joe@gmail.com">philosopher.joe@gmail.com</a>><br><br><br>I do not know any of the facts. I am not sure any kind of objective investigation can be made by the WSU athletic department since the are Lech's colleagues.<br>
<br>The problem of the vagueness of the meaning of word "abuse" and the problem of allegiances and fear of reprisals also complicate any investigation. I haven't privy to any athletic department accusations of a abuse, but have been to a number of allegations of workplace abuses -- the "fact finding" that sometimes occurs there is anything but.<br>
<br>However, if one Googles the Texas Tech matter, there is clear and cogent evidence that abuse occurred there at Leach's direction {and direct action). Regardless of whether abuse has occurred at WSU, hiring someone where the past evidence was so clear was hardly a wise decision. I hope college presidents are going to be much more careful especially after the Graham Spanier matter.<br>
<br>If I remember correctly, Leach has a golden parachute if he is fired betimes by WSU.<br><br>w.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 2:19 PM, Joe Campbell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:philosopher.joe@gmail.com" target="_blank">philosopher.joe@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
