That means he was not a member of MUNFA and that how he was investigated would not have been bound by collective agreement protocols. His threat of a lawsuit would have been more real in the circumstances. <BR/><BR/>MUN put out a news blurb today that said that lawyers on both sides agreed that the first investigation was procedurally flawed. That doesn't surprise me, really. The friendly and close nature of newfoundland society makes it especially difficult to adopt and stick to a strictly objective investigation or discussion of anything (IMHO).<BR/><BR/>I agree with the other anonymous re comments that "shit happens". MUN will recover; Chandra won't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1139000506544059242006-02-03T16:01:00.000-05:002006-02-03T16:01:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1138981413920367122006-02-03T10:43:00.000-05:002006-02-03T10:43:00.000-05:00Hi CraigDanette here.

I have also listened to graduates from Seoul University whine about the same thing referred to in your post. The reality is that every single University and College that has research going on eventually has this type of shit happen. It doesn't really matter and it won't affect your personal standing in anyone's eyes. Shit happens and I find it ridiculous that anyone would think that just because you graduated from MUN Sciences that you were in anyway tainted by this...foolishness in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1138973543579714342006-02-03T08:32:00.000-05:002006-02-03T08:32:00.000-05:00The MUSE didn't even report on it...The MUSE didn't even report on it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1138969039763727642006-02-03T07:17:00.000-05:002006-02-03T07:17:00.000-05:00A couple of quick points:Axel is a good President....A couple of quick points:<BR/><BR/>Axel is a good President. He has transformed MUN for the better.<BR/><BR/>Chandra was a clinical appointee (I believe). His funding and the way he related to the offices in the university that would scrutinise funding was different.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the CBC series shows MUN in a terrible light. I work at MUN, I understand how and why it happened, though that doesn't excuse any of it.<BR/><BR/>Khosla died in November of natural causes. The "harassment" needs to investigated carefully. Statements by grieving family members need to be considered carefully.<BR/><BR/>MUN is a very good university and, in my experience, its graduates are as good - if not better - than those from other Canadian universities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1138942022307632682006-02-02T23:47:00.000-05:002006-02-02T23:47:00.000-05:00It's just mind-numbing.
