"The alleged incidents as reported constitute very serious violations of the ethical standards expected in university life. The possible improper use of university finances and alleged attempts to intimidate students cannot be tolerated on any university campus," Palms said in a prepared statement. "Your assistance is crucial to our attempts to resolve this matter in the best interests of the university and welfare of our students," he said. Palms is already trying to overturn Holderman's tenured professorship with the government and international studies department In his request for information, it appears Palms is trying to collect enough information to prove Holderman did engage in unscrupulous acts. Palms bears the burden of proof in any move to unseat Holderman. Members of the faculty have asked the university to photocopy USC's sexual harassment policy and give it to students in the University 101 program. Any students who have been harassed must go through the Student Affairs office to file their complaints. From the Student Affairs office, USC's affirmative action officer is notified.
