[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get why the other person wouldn’t have reached out to op to discuss this before accusing op of racism. 
Ridiculous leap to make without giving anyone a modicum of benefit of doubt [/quote]

It’s not her job to do that. The university hired OP and the university is responsible for the quality of the people they hire for marketing. The researcher did the right thing reporting the piece to the bigger university since she has no way to know how many other people OP has let be pushed out of articles about their own work for the crime of having a soft voice or a loud colleague. [/quote]

This is a leap. And to tie it to racism? [/quote]

It is your job not to assume racism before you accuse someone of something life altering. 
To go from ‘you didn’t represent my voice in your article enough’ to you’re a racist is insane leap. That’s some powerful cancelling right there. Like sure you could assume the absolute worst of someone but [b]she could also call her and be like - can you adjust your story I have more to say[/b]. 
Insane next level bs [/quote]

The OP is very clear doesn’t care that she silenced the woman she only cares that she was accused of racism. Why on earth would we think she would make any changes to her story because a researcher, who has a whole job to do other than fix OPs mistakes, called her and asked for the courtesy of being credited with being the lead on her own project.

OP the university isn’t going to use what you wrote if they’re smart. Since a complaint has already been made and since your work is going to reflect your lack of interest and respect for the lead researcher, they’re going to have to pay someone else to do it over. Call your contact and tell them you don’t want to bill for this work given your mistakes (specifically not knowing who the lead was) and offer to write a letter of apology to the lead researcher for not doing your due diligence.[/quote]

How is asking someone to speak up more silencing them?[/quote]
