Adding up the score from Lowell
As the story at Lowell comes out, there are definitely some lessons learned and some people who come out looking good, bad, and mixed.
Here's the central absurdity: two employees were investigated for failure to report inappropriate behavior and the only evidence against them was their report of the inappropriate behavior - the one that satisfied their requirement to report. The people who accused them were the people to whom they made the report - a report that those folks dismissed out of hand. It makes my head hurt to think about it.
Looking bad:
Mr. King. Mr. King comes out looking very bad for a number of reasons, all of them weasel-related. First, if we are to believe him, he dismissed a complaint as being racially motivated without knowing any details about it. If
