McKinney, acting dean of the GSAS and the individual immediately responsible for the hiring, is currently formulating a reply to the charges, while Phyllis Keller, equal opportunity officer for the Faculty, is undertaking an investigation of the allegations. If the charges turn out to be true, the school's action represents the ultimate act of bad faith, a deplorable violation of both the letter and spirit of affirmative action guidelines...
