| 11/15/2000 Dear President Mellow, Dr. Evan Siegel, who was fired from the Mathematics Department last year, has received from Personnel copies of SIR [student] evaluations of almost every member of the department for the past two years. The names of all these faculty appeared on their respective evaluations. As you know, this is in violation of Board of Trustees by-laws, which protect faculty from unauthorized exposure of confidential information in their personnel files. Violations such as this put every faculty member in the College at potential risk. As one of those whose privacy was violated, I feel that some sort of apology and/or explanation is due me from the LaGuardia Administration. I am curious to know how the Administration plans to deal with those responsible for this invasion of privacy and how it plans to deal with such apparently idiotic blunders in the future. In an entirely unrelated vein, and at the risk of encroaching upon your undoubtedly busy schedule, I wish to take this opportunity to remind you that, at his request, I met with Vice President Bihn on Oct. 11. At that time he advised me that a meeting would be arranged for me with you "in three or four weeks". It is now five weeks later and my meeting with you has not materialized. I would deeply appreciate your consideration in this matter. Thanking you in advance for your reply, I remain Respectfully, Dr. M. Millman NOTE: Needless to say, Prof. Millman never received a reply to this letter, nor did the meeting with President Mellow ever materialize. Nor was the invasion-of-privacy issue ever resolved. Even by LaGuardia standards, this was mind-boggling incompetence of epic proportions. Yet the PSC [Faculty union] does not regard this issue as grievable! Does this not render the CUNY by-law meaningless? Still more worrisome is the fact that nobody else protested - the principle of Don't-Make-Waves in action once again. |
