...what effect has the whole controversy had on the K-School? "I learned that as dean of the school I need to be more sensitive to the feelings and concerns of all the school's constituencies so as to avoid actions of such offense that parties can be harmed," Allison says, adding, "This is not to say all parties will approve of all actions the school will take.
