Mr. Austin
The 19 November press release regarding the board meeting scheduled for Tuesday night was a very smart move. Nicely done.
Considering the very public flogging you and your colleagues have received this past week regarding the situation around Mr. Daly's email and his public remarks since, I felt it may be appropriate to send you a more friendly note and say that those of us watching this issue can sense a tone in the press release which implies this issue is very close to being appropriately resolved.
The fact that this meeting has been called and the tone of the press release has convinced most of us that the leadership at WCCC recognizes that Mr. Daly's attempts to threaten and intimidate a young student regarding her political activities far exceeds any private expression of his own views, represents an abuse of his position of authority in respect to this student and in no way does his response to her email fall under the protection of free speech we all respect and enjoy.
We are all very hopeful that this situation will soon be resolved and behind us. Please ensure that the results from the meeting on Tuesday are made publicly available as soon as it is appropriate to do so.
Best regards,
xxxxxxx
