Rebuttal to Lattis’ letter of 5-9-17

The arguments set forth by Lattis are not applicable because:

Faculty Handbook 2016: (also Faculty Handbook 2017)

6.3.12.3 Section 6 says:

o that either party may offer testimony from any source;

o that the appeal panel is not bound by statutory rules of evidence but may

hear testimony having reasonable probative value;

6.3.12.3 Section 7 says:

“Procedure for Evidentiary Hearing and Deliberative Meeting

The chairperson of the appeal panel convenes the hearing and serves as presiding officer. The chairperson assumes all the normal responsibilities of a committee chairperson and rules on such questions as may arise on the procedure of the hearing, admissibility of evidence, and all other matters related to the hearing.”
