Clearly, Truett doesn't understand what he's done here. He's put CR in a genuine double bind. The senate is NOT a body independent of CR but an integral part of the college's governing structure (very unlike CRFO, the faculty union). By asking the DA to investigate the Senate, Truett has, in essence, asked the DA to investigate the college itself. But part of Truett's job as an elected trustee is to steadfastly protect the college from legal liability. So, then, now Trustee Truett and all the other board members are legally and ethically obligated to provide the college and its employees the best legal counsel available to defend itself against whatever legal actions the DA pursues in response to Truett DA request (just as it would be obligated to do anytime someone pursued legal action against the college). Truett wanted to go after faculty, I suppose, but with his usual dimwittedness went after the college itself by mistake. Is this really the best Garberville has to offer?
