And I read in the paper that the Chancellor was not informed of the incident
until 5 days after people on the athletic staff knew something bad was
up...something very, very bad.  This is outrageous!  The situation is awful
to begin and a terrible black eye to UTC, regardless of who is lying, but it
has been made even worse by the way it has been handled--or at least by the
way it has apparently been handled.

Subject: [UTCSTAFF] Criminal investigations on campus

I read the following quote from the Handbook in Tom Rybold's e-mail:

>Page 3
>CAMPUS POLICE AUTHORITY AND  JURISDICTION    ....Major offenses such as 
>rape, murder, aggravated assault, robbery, and  auto theft are reported to 
>the local police and joint investigative efforts with investigators from 
>UTC and the city police are deployed to solve these serious  felony crimes.
...

Why, then, did I read in this morning's paper that the investigation of the 
rape that allegedly occured on campus is still being investigated 
exclusively by the Campus Police?  In order to safeguard the correct 
carraige of justice for both the accuser and the accused, should'nt the 
University be doing everything EXACTLY as the process is delineated?
