Dear Dean Ko,

Please let's resolve the matter concerning Lily (An-chuen) Chen as soon
as possible. Please contact Ms. Chen and let's
get together and put an end to this business. I cannot spend much more time
on this issue (I've spent more than two years
already).
Please let's establish this university on an ethical foundation, where
students are responsible for their behavior and officials
are responsible to the law. Your policy of continual delay is unacceptable
to me (and I would imagine most people). This
week is already practically over and I'm still hearing excuses, such as "She
doesn't answer the phone." An Office of Student
Affairs should be able to contact a student registered at its university
with no problem.
Please remember, professors at our university are your colleagues and
they should be treated with respect and courtesy.
At the very least, you should be keeping in touch with me on this issue
every single day until it is resolved satisfactorily,
according to law and moral principles that universities all over the world
recognize. It's a serious issue. A professor's
reputation was tarnished and it must be repaired and the matter remedied.
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Professor Richard de Canio
