Hale Champion, vice president for administration, sees the issue of Brown-Beasley's working relationships far differently. For the best systems development, Champion says, there must be a cooperative effort between the various people involved. Not only does Brown-Beasley not fit into the cooperative method, Champion says, but he believes that "what is optimum in any given situation is his idea and that no one else's position is important unless they agree with...
...letters that Brown-Beasley has written--and liberally distributed--in his attempt to be rehired suggest the passion of his feelings and his unwillingness to squeeze his criticism into polite legalese. To Gibson he wrote: "Although you hold a graduate degree in theology...you are not, and I must repeat are not, a 'religious' man in any sense meaningful to the overwhelming majority of the duties incumbent upon you as director of the Office of Fiscal Services.

Brown-Beasley--who holds four graduate degrees including a masters from Harvard in Regional Studies-East Asia--notes that Gibson holds a graduate degree in theology and is listed in the 1975 Harvard Alumni Directory as occupied in the ministry. Indeed, Gibson spent ten years in Harvard's campus ministry before beginning to work in Harvard's Admissions and Financial Aid office...
Wyatt's special veto power helped generate much of the conflict among Brown-Beasley, Gibson and OIT staffers before the August 3 Holyoke Center incident over the computer, and it has also become the hub of Brown-Beasley's conflict of interest charges. The 36-year-old Brown-Beasley, who worked at OIT for seven months before working for Gibson, objected to many of the recommendations on computer systems and applications made by Wyatt and his subordinates at OIT. Having received the order to submit to Wyatt in such areas, Gibson continued to defer to the Financial Systems director. Brown...
