[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course everyone agrees that the true offenders were the family, for being unpopular and complaining, and the boy, who should have kept his mouth shut. Amirite?! Boys will be boys and we all have to protect our investment in the GDS brand.

The family should be provided with the report, redacted if need be.

They will get it in litigation in any event. [/quote]

Preserving the privilege so that the parents can’t get the report in litigation is precisely why the school isn’t providing it in the first place. [/quote]

What privilege?  There's no consultant privilege, they didn't hire a law firm.[/quote]

Well it could be that the school has a law firm and the law firm hired the T&M Group. Isnt that the simple way people navigate privilege? The report is work product paid by the lawyers....who in turn just pass through a cost to the ultimate client, GDS

[/quote]

That's why law firms are usually hired.  But the school publicly said that they hired T&M.

Maybe the family made a threat of litigation and the report was always intended to be anti-accuser?  But they can't have it both ways.  It can't be both a neutral investigation of an alleged incident and a defensive report in anticipation of litigation.[/quote]

Tell me you don’t understand how internal investigations work in the real world without telling me you don’t j sweat and how internal investigations work in the real world.

Lol, I know how internal HR style investigations work in the real world.  That's why I'm skeptical that an impartial investigation happened and think the report should be released.  I don't think GDS took the allegations seriously.  I think they went straight to CYA mode.[/quote]

They took the allegations seriously enough to go straight into CYA mode, which is alarming.[/quote]

Explain again how cooperating with the police and hiring a firm to do an investigation is CYA mode?

One way to tell when people have an agenda to just take down someone else is when there is no way to satisfy them. If GDS had not cooperated with MPD and send a message to the school immediately you would say that was CYA. If they did their own investigation instead of hiring a firm that would be a coverup. There is literally nothing the school could do to make you happy.[/quote]

Release the independent investigation.  At least to the victim.  And also make aspects of their investigation public to prove it was legitimate.  But they don’t want to do that.[/quote]
