••• letters Disagrees with

Hello ••• 1Ie./lo ••• reporter's Is Q,,!/one. -fhftrft ? methods Dear Editor:

I was greatly disturbed by your article "Discrimination grievance filed against professor" by Barb DePalma. First. the article did not present the viewpoint of the accused Ms . Peterman. Given the serious­ ness of the charges, this should have been mandatory before the article was pub­ lished. Second, Ms. DePalma states that Ms. Peterman made a " concession to a racial slur." How does Ms . DePalma k'now this when she has not spoken to Ms . Peter­ man? Not only did Ms. DePalma not inter­ view Ms. Peterman, she also did not interview any of the other students in the class for colla borating evidence. Ms . DePalma owes Ms . Peterman a huge apol­ ogy and a chance to state her own position. and the Current should be much more careful in the future in the accuracy and evenhandedness of its news reporting.
