December 11: I spent an hour yesterday afternoon, while others were enjoying the department party, speaking with Megan Zahneis, reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education. Following the public tweet of Dean Stephanie Hartwell’s personnel action of November 12, and my upload of the WSU AAUP-AFT’s grievance asking that it be reversed, we discussed my objections to WSU granting a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request for its release; the FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) issues the prevent me from commenting directly on issues concerning WSU students; and WSU’s policy on Personnel Records. The Chronicle article is in the process of being published, so I have decided to break my own story and publish my December 10 response to Dean Hartwell here. I will be adding more to this thread as issues unfold.
