HOW DID IT GET THIS FAR?
Keywords:
educational administration, lawsuit, assaultAbstract
John Rowland is an administrative supervisor in the department of student affairs at South Midwestern University. Recently one of his employees, Jeanette, accused an employee from a different department of assaulting her. The initial complaint that John received described an argument between the two female employees ending with the other employee, Mary, placing her hand on the Jeanette’s shoulder. Over the following weeks Jeanette filed a report with public safety stating that Mary lunged at her and attempted to choke her. She also filed a lawsuit claiming that she fears for her safety when she is at work. With lawyers becoming involved and a court appearance looming John wonders, “how did it get this far?”
