This report concerns actions taken by the administration of Spalding University to terminate the appointment of tenured professor of social work Erlene Grise-Owens after she criticized the administration's handling of an incident involving a student who brought a gun to a campus parking lot. The social work school's chair immediately alerted social work faculty about the incident--except the school's three faculty members of color, even though the student was scheduled to attend class with one of them the next day. [The text of this report was written in the first instance by the members of the investigating committee.]
