Check and MATE Mr. Fallon, YOU LOSE

So, you had the feeling something wasn't right, you KNEW something wasn't right and you absolutely KNEW you weren't protecting students, faculty and staff at Eastern Michigan University when you CHOSE not to let people know you had a murderer, and a rapist all rolled into one roaming your campus at will. You had a VP in charge of Student Affairs who knew EVERYTHING did you not? Did he not report to you? Did you not ask him to? That's dereliction of your duties, Sir.

From WXYZ TV in Detroit:

Orange Taylor III, 20, of Southfield, was ordered Friday to stand trial in Dickinson's death. The body of the 22-year-old Hastings resident was found in her dorm room Dec. 15, and autopsy results released in March concluded she died of asphyxiation.

The U.S. Department of Education next week will begin investigating whether the university, which maintained that foul play was not suspected until Taylor was arrested Feb. 23, violated a federal law in not warning students that a violent crime had been committed.

Fallon as early as Jan. 23 wrote: "This doesn't smell right to me."

"I was never fully satisfied that the investigation into Laura's death took so long. ... While being patient was clearly the responsible course for me, I'm not certain that the university shouldn't have been more candid," Fallon wrote in a Feb. 28 e-mail to Tom Sidlik, chairman of the university's Board of Regents.

I agree, you had the chain of command that knew the facts. All you had to do was ASK. You didn't. You made a choice NOT to. You let down tens of thousands of people.

You need to move on professionally to a place that finds your idea of adminstration acceptable. I'll speak on behalf of the EMU Community when I say we DO NOT find your actions acceptable.
