...originally intended to address Professor Anderson's feelings (as distinct, it appears, from those of his committee) that I should be censured for allegedly refusing to cooperate with the Hartman Review Committee in the forum of the Faculty of Design, and with the contempt they merit as being unfounded and without basis in fact. I must now repudiate his allegations publicly...
...first asked by Professor Anderson to testify before his committee in mid-April 1973, ten months after the committee had started its deliberations. Following a lengthy correspondence with the committee on its procedures, particularly those pertaining to confidential testimony--that is, informing one of the parties that evidence had been received but not of its substance, a procedure I found abhorrent--I finally agreed to testify with the understanding that my full testimony would be transmitted to both Dr. Hartman and Dean Kilbridge. I appeared before the committee on June 5, 1973 and answered their questions fully and candidly...
...late April 1974, I received a draft of approximately four double spaced pages purporting to be my testimony. A covering letter from Professor Anderson called to my attention that his notes of June 5, 1973 had made it difficult for him to recall precise details in my testimony and asked me for corrections and comments. On May 6, 1974 I wrote Professor Anderson a long letter, correcting several factual errors and calling to his attention that the "cut and paste" reporting of my testimony and, I assumed, that of others as well was fraught with ambiguity.

Had they required additional testimony from me, it would have been a simple matter to ask me to appear before them again. They did recall other witnesses and I would have obliged them had they done so in my case...
What Professor Anderson would have liked, it appears, is to have me assume, halfway through the committee's proceeding, the role of a "party" to the case rather than that of a witness! That I was not willing to assume that role had been made perfectly clear to him at a lengthy meeting we had on May 29, 1973, prior to my agreeing to appear before the committee. Although, as departmental chairman, I had obviously initiated the discussions that led to the decision not to reappoint Dr. Hartman I had had no part in the preparation of the School...
