[ASU] My opinion

[Fletcher Ziwoya]

Dear as225108 at ohio.edu,

The out-going executive knows what its role in this issue is and we are 
confidently executing it. Contrary to what you allege we did not involve 
ourselves in any unnecessary polemics at all. We issued a statement right 
immediately after the complainant made his dispute publicly known to us. 
How else were we supposed to respond to his query, knock at his apartment 
door and deliver a letter? He made his dispute publicly and that is why we 
also responded through the same channel. If you have been keen you would 
have noticed that no one of the out-going executive members is commenting 
on this issue any more because we feel it is now between the rest of the GB 
and Prosper. It is not about us the out-going executive. I only posted on 
the listserv a letter which was sent to the advisor and was copied to me by 
Prosper. That was for you members to follow the steps that the complainant 
was taking. We are not just sitting over the issue. Today we had a meeting 
with the advisor and he will soon be advising us on how to proceed with the 
matter. And for you instead of providing any tangible suggestion as to how 
you as a member think the disagreement can be resolved you simply dismiss 
Prosper saying we are giving him too much attention. Let me remind you that 
it is easy to criticize when it is not your turn to act or make a decision 
that will involve someone's emotions and ego. What has happened in ASU is 
unprecedented and we need to find a lasting solution and not just dismiss 
an issue for the sake of dismissing it. Please, next time you write on this 
forum present concrete suggestions as advanced by most of your colleagues. 
Keep well.

Fletcher Ziwoya
Out-going President
