of interest," Thompson said. "I
don't think there's a structural
problem with objectivity. If they
follow the standard military pro
cedures outlined, it's a really
sound procedure for producing
objective decisions."
As of Thursday, Col. James L.
McCleskey, chief of operations
and training and investigating of
ficer in this case, declined to com
ment about the status of the inves
tigation.
James Nelson, an associate of
ethical studies at the Hastings
Center in New York, said the ap
pearance of justice is often more
important than the verdict.
"The perception that justice is
being done is an important part of
justice," he said. "The Corps
must make it clear they are han
dling it right."
Nelson said public confidence
in the Corps' review policies may
be weakened because this investi
gation has been kept internal.
Dr. Ed Harris, associate profes
sor of philosophy at A&M, said
because the Corps has dealt with
harassment incidents in the past,
investigators may want to end
speculation about its internal re
view procedures.
"They have the motivation to
be as objective as possible," he
"The Corps must
make it clear they are
handling it right."
-Dr. Paul Thompson
philosophy professor
said. "Any organization needs to
prove it can run its own ship re
sponsibly."
Dr. John J. Koldus III, vice
president for student services,
said if the Corps finds the male
guilty, the worst punishment he
faces is dismissal from the institu
tion.
