Okay, in our last episode, we asked the question, what about my tutoring and other academic support? Coach Jones' letter dismissing me from the team mentioned all the services that I would lose....including the weight room, training room, and training table...About a month later, I received this letter from Dr. Carodine canceling out my academic services. But the fun was only beginning!
The very same day I received Dr. Carodine's letter, I was told by staff at the Office of Student Life (OSL) that I couldn't come in any more. (They scan your ID before you get in.) So.....I wrote this email:
October 5, 2004
Mr. Foley and Dr. Carodine,
As I was leaving a tutoring session at the OSL this evening, I was informed that a note had been entered into the computer saying that I was no longer to be allowed to use the facilities.
According to the attached letter from Dr. Carodine, which I received today, my OSL privileges are supposed to last until December 17, 2004.
I have another very important tutoring session scheduled for
tomorrow night (Wednesday), and I would appreciate your straightening out
the situation. I have a very
important Accounting midterm the following day, so this is an emergency
situation.
I would also appreciate your ensuring that no further harassment resulting from my complaint of sexual harassment and my subsequent dismissal from the track team occurs during the remainder of my studies at Florida.

I heard back from Mr. Foley and Dr. Carodine, who told me that the letter was right, and I could use the OSL for the rest of this semester. Whew! I didn't want to lose my great Accounting tutor the day before our one midterm of the semester.
But....I still don't know who could have told the OSL to cancel me now, instead of at the end of the semester....I don't think it was Dr. Carodine, because he just wrote the letter....the staff definitely wouldn't do that on their own, but the coaches all have access to the OSL, too.....We'll probably never know for sure, but it makes you think, doesn't it?
Here's something else that's funny about the OSL....I'm hearing through the grapevine that as far as Karen Freberg is concerned, there is a "don't ask, don't tell" policy in force! Just call me "She Who Must Not Be Named!"
