"hat the hell do people expect you to do with a petition, anyway?" Aldrich asked in response to the first charge. He added that the second petition was not misleading and that he guessed the number of foreign students who signed was no higher than 20 to 40.
On the evening of October 3, after the signatures for the petition had been collected, Hokanson and a first-year MBA student approached Aldrich. The first-year student proposed a referendum whereby Aldrich would not release the petition to the press if a majority of the School asked him to...
Aldrich did release the petition at noon, Monday, October 6, and held a meeting about the petition that afternoon.
Hokanson had expected this meeting to take place before the petition was released. "It wasn't that they pulled a fast one on me, they pulled a fast one on a lot of people," Hokanson said.
Hokanson said that during the past week he has spent 40 to 50 hours working against the petition. "I felt I was fulfilling my duty to the complaining students," he said.
