I am reminded of the reputed habit of the ostrich. Like the proverbial ostrich, the University of Western Australia has attempted to bury its head in the sand while hoping the world will quit looking. While it is obvious that the UWA's head is actually buried in shame, what is exposed for the world to see is metaphorically apt. I call upon the University of Western Australia to restore honor to your besmirched corner of academe and to reverse the decision regarding David Rindos.
Academic history has a very long memory in such unmitigated breaches of civility.
