Mr. Fallon, Mr. Vick, Ms. Hall, if you won't leave on your own, we'll remove you

Ah yes, a letter writing campign seems to be having some impact. All Eastern Michigan University regents have gotten a torrent of emails critical of your poor decision making in the Laura Dickinson murder and now yes, COVER UP. Just wanted to be sure the emails hit with maximum effect just before the private, independent Butzel-Long report on how EMU handled the situation came to light. What's that? It's HERE NOW?

Well, let's delve into this shall we? Let's take a look at some FINE reporting by Amelie Nash of the Ann Arbor News:

Abby Coykendall, an EMU professor who serves on a campus Security Advisory Committee, attended a meeting the week after Taylor's arrest. Hall spoke to the group about the investigation and lack of information, but Coykendall said public safety director's explanations didn't make sense.

Coykendall said Hall told the group she was in Dickinson's room the night her body was found. Dickinson was found naked from the waist down, positioned on the floor with a pillow over her head, and her keys were missing. Hall said the case was like a jigsaw puzzle, and the complete picture wasn't obvious until all the pieces fit together, Coykendall said.

"The answers were scripted and my feeling was that it was a test run of their official story for the public forums on campus,'' Coykendall said. "They did a good job to delay our understanding of what happened. It seemed liked they were working to make a false story a reality, and I think some in the university community wanted to be deceived and not believe what happened."

WORKING TO MAKE A FALSE STORY A REALITY. Nice, well done John, Jim, Cindy, way to help this along.

Also from the Butzel-Long independent report:

Within a week of the arrest, EMU's public relations employees also posted information on the university Web site, including a "question and answer'' segment and timeline. But within days, portions - including an assertion that EMU did not identify a suspect prior to Feb. 23 - were deleted after a state police investigator sent an e-mail disputing the accuracy of those statements.

"Starting on February 23rd, many of the key players involved in the dissemination of information concerning Laura Dickinson's death went into 'damage control mode' and began developing explanations or justifications for not providing accurate information about the possibility of a homicide," the report said.

"not providing accurate information about the possibility of a homicide"

AMAZING Mr Fallon, you and Mr Vick and Ms. Hall need to go YESTERDAY. You have OBVIOUSLY and WILLFULLY broken the law, the independent law firm openly says so. All three of you have assisted in or participated in BREAKING A FEDERAL LAW, the Clery Act. This is BEYOND the pale. Fallon and Vick and Hall need to be REMOVED if they will not resign. Cindy Hall MUST NOW held to account, she performed as poorly as, if not worse than Vick and Fallon. This report shows her to be in WAY over her head at every turn.

John Fallon-Resign or be bounced
Jim Vick-Resign or be bounced
Cindy Hall-Resgin or be bounced

Now, there were those who TRIED to set the record straight, who TRIED to question Fallon and or Vick or Hall. A BIG Thank you to these people who know when something doesn't pass the smell test. Those who realize where the REAL priorities lie, with protecting the population at large, not to Cindy Hall or John Fallon or Jim Vick:

Ward Mullens, EMU spokesman
Greg Peoples, ombudsman
Jeff Nesmith, the campus police lieutenant in charge of the Wilkinson investigation


Luckily, in sleepy Ypsilanti, the Amtrak still runs through town, Mr. Fallon, Mr. Vick, Ms. Hall, try and be on the next one out of town, your services are no longer necessary and or wanted...
