ANSWER: The administration.

 

QUESTION: Who knows the basic details of the 15 (or possibly more) complaints against faculty members in philosophy filed with the ODH and the outcomes of each of those complaints -- the administration, or the 24 tenure-track faculty members in philosophy?

QUESTION: If it is the case that only "a small number of men in the department are responsible" for the behavior criticized in the report that the administration unexpectedly made public, as the six women in the department claim, then exactly how are the 24 tenure-track faculty in the department supposed to proceed to deal with the culprits within the department -- whose identities they do not know for sure?

 

ANSWER: Beats me.

 

 

CONCLUSION
