[Chase University - May 13th, 2004]
Dean Hutchinson I am extremely disappointed in you Mr. Rasul! When I heard it was you that started a fight, I didn’t know what to believe…
Rasul Is that what happened?
Dean Hutchinson Here are the three witnesses’ statements. The board of directors has also deposed them. To sum it up, Miss Rant and Mr. Zark, were standing in front of the Onondaga Hall entrance, evidently in some sort of embrace when you rushed into them, shoving Miss Rant into the door, when Mr. Zark confronted you, you threw the first punch. I’m confused. Do you have something against them? Were they in your way? Why couldn’t you ask…
Rasul But, I don’t…
Dean Hutchinson You will be given a chance to speak when I say so! This is unbelievable, how can one of the best students I have ever had in more than two decades, result to violence. What happened?
Rasul I don’t know what came over me!
Dean Hutchinson Do not raise your voice at me! If you are frustrated, schedule a meeting with the counselor and resolve your issues, or else I will be forced to dismiss you. You know more than anyone, we have a zero tolerance policy for violence.
Rasul I... I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to talk to you in such an angry tone.
Dean Hutchinson Whatever the problem is you can talk to me, your friends, or the counselor. I know the exams can cause a lot of stress, but that doesn’t mean you should deal with it through aggression.
Rasul I swear, I’m fine. Also, I’m sorry; I will apologize to Miss Rant, and Mr. Zark. There’s no need to dismiss me; I am literally hours away from completing my year with the perfect record. I have one presentation left and I’m done.
Dean Hutchinson That is the only reason I am giving you a warning Rasul. I will excuse this incident because you are the definition of a perfect student, you display tremendous potential, and you have no history of violence. I hope this never happens again.
Rasul It will never happen again, I promise.
