The following is an email from Joe Quigley
(Posted 8-19-02)

We had our meeting today about the use of the copier machine and the Fax.
To sum the meeting up in its content, or purpose, I would have to say it was truly a waste of time. There were some generic statements, followed by discussion and no real answers, or no real problem for that matter.

The silences were only broken by the sound of a Penn International IGFA 70S reel on a CS2070 custom power stick IGFA rod.

Hopefully (and, yes I know that is not a real word) this will end whatever this was that was begun, and we can move on. The topic of the meeting was what all faculty should know about copies and Faxes, which they don't, so they should be told (why should only I have knowledge of this important policy. That gives me an unfair advantage over the uninformed. Not Fair Practice.)

Now I can go back to teaching, although this is just more proof that EDUCATION of faculties about the truth when it comes to GLBT Students, and allowing positive information to be available and treated no differently than the information other identifiable groups find so readily available on campus needs to happen.
Of course, I will not let my guard down, and will, honestly, look at things a bit suspiciously. What a wonderful working environment this has created.
If there is anymore of this, I will fill you. This is 2002. This shouldn't even be an issue.
Joe Quigley
