Please don't talk down to me, Penny. If you have complaints or concerns, I want to hear them, but I expect you to show me the same respect that I'm going to show you.

I do understand where you're coming from, though, and all I can tell you is that Maggie and I will handle this as objectively and as fairly as we can. Everyone will be judged on their behavior, not their position or their popularity. If you have problems with any students going forward and you don't think that we've responded appropriately, please let me know and I'll be happy to discuss the situation with you.
