The -- a school like the University of Utah has, gosh, several hundred faculty members, if not more, and so any time a member of the University of Utah speaks, they are giving their views on the subject. There may be a range of views. Some Professors at the university of Utah may be in favor of crime victim rights. Other Professors may be opposed to crime victim rights. Young people generally jump to the conclusion that just because they are hearing a Professor from a particular school speak, that that necessarily means that they are saying something that the university endorses. Q. If that's true, why do you include the footnote on some pleadings? A. Well, I included the footnote in this particular case, the dean at the law school said, hey, you know, it might be useful just to drop a footnote in just to make sure that there's no misunderstanding and I said, sure, I would be glad to do that. And so I think pleadings, in this case leading up to this, had the star footnote. Apparently on the signature block had got dropped out. And then we were able to fix that ina couple of days on this one. ROUGH DRAFT ONLY HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021843
