We received a phone call yesterday from an old student of yours Jessica Sellars. Cecilias heart flew into her throat as she maintained a cool demeanor on the outside. She had some pretty wild claims about you.

Im sure she did. Cecilia said calmly.

You remember this student? President Nichols asked leaning forward in her chair.

I should she came to my house a couple of weeks ago. Both of the other occupants in the room looked at each other shocked. I was having a pool party and she attended as the date of one of my friends.

Well she claims that while she was a student in your class the two of you Cecilia raised an eyebrow and held her breath waiting for the President to finish her statement. …the two of you had relations. Cecilia let her breath out with relief Jessica lied.

Not while she was a student in my class, Cecilia said emphatically. Our relationship began the semester after that.

So you admit to being involved with a student? Greg questioned incredulously.

Yes the rules of conduct stated that you could not have a romantic relationship with a student in one of your classes. It said nothing about students NOT in your classes. Cecilia knew that she was correct and her worry began to fade.

Still she claims that you made her have ***** with you in order to get an A in your class, Greg said laying his hands on top of his desk. Cecilia nearly jumped out of her chair as the blood rushed to her face.

That is an absolute fabrication! Greg you know me! I would NEVER do anything like that.

I know I know… but she has filed an official complaint and we have no choice but to conduct a full investigation, he said looking at her with sympathy. We will need you to meet with us on Friday at 10:30 to give a full deposition to the university lawyers. I suggest you bring an attorney as well.

This is ridiculous Cecilia said shaking her head in amazement. That little ***** is trying to ruin me! she thought.

Cecilia we are on your side in this. I looked over all of her transcripts and she was a straight A student. Getting an A in your class was not an unusual accomplishment for someone like her. But our guidelines state that we must have a full, legal investigation into her accusations. President Nichols placed a hand on Cecilias knee. The truth will come out dear. Cecilia looked down at the hand and took a deep breath.

Friday at 10:30?

Yes, Greg responded.

Ill be here, Cecilia said standing and looking at the woman next to her. I have one last question.

Yes? President Nichols asked as she stood as well.

Will any of this information be made public? The fact that she has made these claims?

The University does not release information about a claim until the matter is settled in one way or another and then only releases it to those that specifically ask for it. Cecilia nodded her head, glad that she could at least count on that. You be careful driving home and try not to worry too much about this.

Cecilia smiled softly at the almost elderly woman in appreciation. Ill try. Goodbye and Ill see you both Friday. Cecilia left the office and made her way back to her vehicle. Once the door was closed, she leaned her forehead on the steering wheel and willed herself not to cry.
