Sue,

Personal safety reasons? And how would your personal safety be in any
way affected by our sitting and discussing the issues? I'm afraid I
don't understand.

I presume by "respectively" you meant "respectfully", in which case
I'm wondering where the respect has so far been shown. Certainly your
allusion to me being some sort of threat to you doesn't show much
respect. If not, I'm not sure what you mean by that sentence.

In any case, the only outcome I have truly striven for is for NEWI to
admit that it got things wrong. To admit that its level of
organisation and consistency of teaching often did not meet the
standards expected (as was advertised), and to ensure that future
students would be treated with a greater level of respect than we were
shown by various members of staff.

If you - like all other NEWI correspondents so far - believe that NEWI
did nothing wrong, that NEWI never once faltered in its level of
organisational and treated me with anything other than the respect
deserved, then quite frankly it scares me. The level of arrogance so
far shown in this respect is staggering.

I little humility and culpability goes a long way. So far neither has
been displayed by NEWI. I hope in your new position, you try to
rectify that problem as much as you can.

Yours sincerely,
Dennis Simcott
