PS: I can't get anyone to tell me if I am under investigation or not!!!!!

Hell with rolling over, this is an excellent time for you to be aggressive about this.

You should file a formal complaint with the College of Arts and Sciences on the grounds that you have been threatened by a University official with regard to discpline on speech "regulations". Demand either an apology for the thinly veiled threats, or a specific notification that a case has been submitted for investigation or action against you. In the later event demand a full and explicit delineation of your due process rights with regard to this case.

If you are going to play their game, though, you can't pussyfoot around. You gotta take it straight to the hoop.

This was my reply when I did not get a response form the vice-provost. Dear Vice- Provost Bischoff: I have not heard from you about my "Hate speech" to Chairperson Jamie Barlowe. I have talked to my Dean at the Law School. He stated that if action was to be taken against me, then I would receive notice. I have received no follow up information about protecting my freedom of speech. I would hope that opposing a left-leaning , terrorist-supporting, and First Amendment opposing agenda would not have me kick out of school. I have showed to the e-mail to a number of my associates and all have stated that the Chairperson of Womens' and Gender's Studies and University Professor at a minimum overreacted. The teach-in is scheduled for Monday, November 5. The comments and threats from a university member has denied me my right to free speech. Chairperson Barlowe has represented that she is speaking for the university. I have been denied rights to speak out on Monday. Chairperson Barlowe has used her OFFICIAL TITLE AND UNDER THE COLOR OF HER OFFICE TO VIOLATE MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. CHAIRPERSON BARLOWE MISUSED HER AUTHORITY TO SILENCE MY SPEECH. I MADE NO THREATS, BUT THE CHAIRPERSON HAS THREATEN ME FOR EXERCISING MY RIGHTS. CHAIRPERSON BARLOWE HAS DONE WHAT SHE ACCUSED ME OF DOING. I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE UNIVERSITY NOTIFY ME OF THE STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATION AGAINST ME SO THAT I MAY TAKE ALL THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO PREPARE MY DEFENSE. I would also in the light of having to necessarily defend my status as a University of Toledo Student would request that under the Ohio Public Records law have all records, e-mails, memos, and any and all material related to this matter made available to me. I understand that the costs of copying such material is my responsibility. I will pay all reasonable costs related to this request.
