lovato investigation well into fourth month

on its face, four months seems like an inordinately long time for a simple investigation; because it is.

when, and if, the investigation is ever completed, beth everitt has made it clear that she has no intention of simply telling the whole truth. she intends to cherry pick the information to cast her administration in the best light.

she has no intention of offering a full and honest accounting of spending at the uptown administrative complex.

she has no intention of explaining, defending, or even acknowledging the fact that she is no longer accountable as a role model for students.

she has no intention of beginning an impartial audit of her administration.

she has no intention of being held accountable for her conduct or competence as a public servant.

none of these decisions would be acceptable to stakeholders. her only hope is to keep stakeholders from learning the truth.

questions were being asked during the public forum; so there is no more public forum.

before the forum was removed from the public record, everitt refused on a dozen occasions to accept responsibility as the senior administrative role model for aps students. on each occasion, the public record was falsified to remove evidence of her stonewalling of the question, before the record of the meeting was broadcast on local tv.

any one of these stories is newsworthy. all of them together is a bombshell.

yet neither the journal or trib will investigate or report upon the truth of even a single one of the issues. neither phil casaus nor charlie moore, editors of the trib and journal respectively, will accept any responsibility for their paper's failure to cover the truth. neither will identify anyone at their paper, more responsible than they for the cover up.

they all get a pass, because they are privileged; too privileged to be held accountable for their conduct.

while the overwhelming majority of students know nothing of all of this; they are never the less affected by it all. they absolutely feel the effect of the culture of corruption and incompetence created by the leadership of the aps; and enabled by casaus and moore, et al.
